Samantha Fish reimagines a classic, releasing "I Put A Spell On You"
Samantha Fish, the genre-defying blues-rock powerhouse, has released her electrifying rendition of the Screamin' Jay Hawkins classic I Put A Spell on You. Known for her fiery guitar playing and soulful vocals, Fish breathes new life into the iconic track, infusing it with her signature edge and raw emotion.
You can watch the art video for the new single below:
“I’ve always loved how intense and theatrical this song is,” Fish shares. "It gave me the perfect opportunity to dig into the darker, more haunting side of my sound."
Following this release, Fish embarks on a European tour across the UK, Germany, and Holland, further showcasing her mastery of live performances. Fish has just wrapped up the Experience Hendrix Tour, where she shared the stage with blues legends like Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Eric Johnson, and Christone "Kingfish" Ingram. In November, she will headline the Ruf Records 30th Anniversary Tour, celebrating the label’s pivotal role in shaping modern blues.
I Put A Spell on You comes hot on the heels of Fish's recent three-song EP, which featured reimagined versions of fan favourites Faster, Crowd Control, and Better Be Lonely. While studio work allows her to reinvent herself, Fish insists, “the stage is where the real magic happens. I connect with the audience in a way that transforms the music into something alive.”

And Samantha’s much-anticipated European tour has just kicked off this weekend, starting in Birmingham, making stops in iconic venues across the UK, Germany, and Holland.
