"Blues rock guitar phenom Samantha Fish is currently one of the most talked about names in the genre. With a career spanning over 10 years, Fish has earned her rightful place amidst the cream of blues rock songwriters and performing artists. Absurd guitar skills, captivating vocals, an ear for great hooks and high-octane live performances are her main assets as she climbs her way to the top. Although never restricting to one formula, Fish takes a step forward in her career with her newest release, Faster, which explores new ground and incorporates elements of pop, contemporary R & B and hip-hop into her music ... Faster is an unorthodox release that revigorates blues rock and pushes the genre's boundaries. It can also be a hint of the direction Samantha will take on her career. Anyway or the other, the album stands on its own as a rock-solid and enjoyable effort".

"Fish is (...) so vibrant a character she projects the alternately seductive and sultry persona that reaffirms the intentions at the heart of this album, i.e., reasserting the no-nonsense image of the previous LP to prevent any further pigeonholing of this independent woman artist. With no track exceeding five minutes, and the unity of the musicians compensating for the extraneous mechanical textures of "All Ice No Whiskey," a sweaty atmosphere pervades Faster, an air Fish's baby-doll vocal intonations only further emphasize".

"Genre-busting guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter Samantha Fish turns all of her powers loose on her brand new album 'Faster' ... 'Faster' shows Fish digging deeper into her rock and roll bag than ever before while still showing love for the blues and roots music at her core. This time out, she made her record with producer Martin Kierszenbaum (Lady Gaga, Sting), who co-wrote eight of the 12 new tunes on it. Kierszenbaum helped Fish refocus her sound and expand her style into previously uncharted territory ... 'Faster' is an immense creative breakthrough for [Fish]. This record puts her light years ahead of any competition she used to have and has the beats and hooks needed to make Fish a household name. Come to it with an open mind and get down with the future".
