Exclusive: Samantha Fish premieres 'Dream Girl' video
Watch it first on Planet Rock
Phenomenally talented blues guitarist and singer-songwriter Samantha Fish has premiered the video for her latest single ‘Dream Girl’ exclusively on Planet Rock.
Lifted from Samantha Fish’s latest studio album ‘Kill Or Be Kind’, which came out to widespread plaudits in September 2019, ‘Dream Girl’ is a sublime track that showcases the more downtempo side of Samantha’s eclectic musical palate.
“Dream Girl is about trying to be something you're not. Someone else's ideal or fantasy,” Samantha explains.
“The video has ‘real-life Samantha’ looking for answers and inspiration. The heroine in the story might have all the pieces of what she's looking to be, but she is still wandering through a fairy tale. There are no happy endings when you are trying to measure up for someone else. If you don't own who you are, you'll still end up lost in the woods.”

Last month, Samantha Fish took part in Planet Rock’s inaugural Lockdown Sessions and performed a series of acoustic numbers including ‘Watch It Die’ and ‘Bulletproof’ from ‘Kill Or Be Kind’. Other highlights included ‘No Angels’, ‘Need You More’ and closer ‘Crow Jane’.
Samantha Fish will also embark on a headline UK tour in March 2021 calling in at Edinburgh, Newcastle, Bath, London, Nottingham and Manchester.
Samantha said back in March: “I know it feels a bit strange announcing a tour because we’re all locked down fighting this virus right now, but we’ve been working hard to set up my 2021 UK tour in amazing venues, and to be honest I want to have something to look forward to, and I hope you do, too!"
A firm favourite on Blues Power with Bernard Doherty on Planet Rock, Samantha Fish says of her musical style: "I'm never going be a traditional blues artist, because that's not who I am.
"But it's all the Blues for me. When Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf came out, what they were doing didn't sound like anything that had been done in Blues before. You've got to keep that kind of fire and spirit. I'm never going to do Muddy Waters better than Muddy Waters, so I have to be who I am and find my best voice.”
