Samia Finds Inspiration in Bizarre Places — From Farms to FKA Twigs — on ‘Song Shuffle’

Samia talks womanhood, her new song 'Bovine Excision,' FKA Twigs and more on the latest episode of Rolling Stone's 'Song Shuffle.'

On the latest episode of Rolling Stone ’s Song Shuffle, the musician finds inspiration in everything from FKA Twigs to cattle farms where livestock mysteriously turn up dead. The musician was similarly drawn to the more light-hearted and adventurous accounts of being on the road that A Tribe Called Quest narrates on “I Left My Wallet in El Segundo,” first introduced to her by her sixth-grade poetry teacher. Samia regrettably didn’t have the same experience with “Bovine Excision.” She was initially excited about the lyric “I felt the pea, can I eat it?” but found that it wasn’t coming across to listeners as she intended.
