Samara Cyn is back and swinging with “Brand New Teeth,” her fierce new single featuring Smino—out now as the first look at her upcoming Backroads EP, dropping June 20.
The track hits on the pressure to hold it all together when everything feels urgent. “I need food now. I have bills now. I have dreams now,” Samara says, breaking down the song’s core tension. “People kept telling me to just enjoy the process… but how do I do that when the stakes feel high?”
Produced by emil and D’Mile, the song blends Samara’s emotional urgency with Smino’s slick storytelling. Their chemistry feels effortless, born out of real respect and the bond they’ve built while touring together on Smino’s Kountry Kousins tour.
Backroads follows the buzz of her 2024 debut The Drive Home—a breakout project that earned her co-signs from Nas, Doja Cat, Lauryn Hill, and critical love from Complex, Uproxx, and The FADER. With “Brand New Teeth,” Samara sharpens her pen, broadens her sound, and lays the groundwork for a project that promises to be genre-blurring, reflective, and unfiltered.
Stream “Brand New Teeth” now and mark your calendar—Backroads lands June 20.
