Samantha Fish Shares New Single “I’m Done Runnin’”
Samantha Fish, one of the most electrifying guitarists of her generation, has shared new single “I’m Done Runnin’” – from her forthcoming album ‘Paper Doll’, out on Friday 25th April 2025 via Rounder Records.
An exhilarating statement of self-reliance and unshakable confidence, Fish brings her signature flair to the new song. “I’m Done Runnin’” opens with sublimely moody riffs, fueled by her extraordinary vocal power and emotionality: “When I look in the mirror, staring at the unknown / The world’s not getting clearer, but I like where I’m goin,’” she sings. “It’s about pushing forward even when life knocks you down, because you know what you want,” Fish explains.
Tracked in Austin at The Orb and Los Angeles at Savannah Studios, the 9-song collection was recorded amid Fish’s gruelling touring schedule, ultimately capturing the untamed energy of her live performances. “I’d never made a record on the road like that,” Fish reveals. “Even though it was so intense, it felt good to keep up the momentum from the live show. It helped us make an album that’s got a real living, breathing pulse to it.” ‘Paper Doll’ is produced by Detroit garage-rock legend Bobby Harlow (The Go) – with assistance from fellow Detroit luminary Mick Collins (The Gories) on one track – and features touring bandmates Ron Johnson (bass), Jamie Douglass (drums), and Mickey Finn (keys).
Known for her unique blend of rock and soul, expressive guitar playing and powerhouse performances, Fish’s career hit warp speed with the release of her last album, 2023’s Death Wish Blues, which hit #1 on the Billboard Blues Chart, earned her a Grammy nomination, and saw her share stages with The Rolling Stones, Jon Spencer, Slash and more.
