Hot on the heels of her 3-time Josie Music Award-nominated debut album Piece of Me, Sam Ferrara returns with her powerful new single, “I Need A New Fix.” Co-written with Kathy Devine and Sarah Hardwig, this track showcases a sound that’s equal parts sassy and soulful, positioning Ferrara to guide her audience through a new chapter where life’s obstacles are tackled with creativity and bold resilience.
In this empowering anthem, Ferrara captures raw emotions in a standout verse that perfectly encapsulates the moment of realization that it’s time to move on: "Walked through the door after happy hour / Find my man, not alone in the shower / Maybe it’s time to call it quits / Slammed the door—I’m out, got no time for this." This lyric strikingly reflects the strength found in self-empowerment and the decision to take control of one’s narrative.
“This song is about celebrating life’s hurdles and creative coping mechanisms,” says Ferrara. “Sometimes you just need to mix it up to ‘FIX’ it up!” This sentiment resonates throughout the track, which boasts a fresh, 90’s-inspired sound blending small-town storytelling with a bold sense of empowerment. The energy of “I Need A New Fix” appeals to listeners from all walks of life, encouraging them to embrace their own journeys with a fearless attitude.
Ferrara’s vocal delivery and melodic sensibilities echo those of Megan Moroney, another rising star in the country scene known for her fresh take on modern country. Like Ferrara, Moroney skillfully fuses traditional elements with contemporary themes, creating music that feels both timeless and timely. The sassy yet heartfelt essence of “I Need A New Fix” aligns seamlessly with the empowering anthems that Moroney has delivered, resonating with a generation seeking authenticity in their music.
Ferrara’s musical journey has been one of perseverance and grit. After a stranger urged her to “take her life back,” she found the courage to chase her dreams—a sentiment echoed in her hits “Get Out of My Town” and “Whiskey Memory.” With “I Need A New Fix,” Sam continues to challenge her listeners to confront life’s struggles head-on while embracing the unexpected twists along the way.
Produced by Grammy Award-winning Matt Leigh, “I Need A New Fix” offers a glimpse into Ferrara’s forthcoming EP, set to release in 2025. This new chapter sees her at her most vulnerable and fearless, blending raw honesty, wit, and musical innovation that will leave listeners craving more.
