Winter joins forces with Horse Jumper of Love on new single, "Misery"

“This song was written with my friend Alex Craig. At first, we imagined a fictional story about being in love with someone who was unavailable, leaning into the romanticization of indulging in a kind of sadness. However, during the recording process, the story of Elliott Smith’s love and tragic death came up, which in turn inspired the song title and the rest of the lyrics written by Dimitri.” shares Samira Winter.

“The song was originally written at a faster tempo, but we discovered that slowing it down on the tape machine created an interesting androgynous effect on my voice.”

Horse Jumper of Love’s Dmitri Giannopoulos shares: "I was excited when Samira hit me up to sing on her track - she told me some of the backstory of the song, how it was a nod to Elliott Smith. That made me want to channel the inspiration he has given me as a songwriter and in my vocal delivery. Samira's clear vision of what the song needed to be made it easy to write a verse with her and I'm happy with the way it came out."

Adult Romantix is the follow-up to 2022’s landmark What Kind of Blue Are You?, and a goodbye love letter to her time in LA, Samira Winter describes Adult Romantix as “a tunnel of summers and memories,” inspired by romantic-period texts like Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, as well as ‘90s rom-coms.
