Samantha on her new song :

I am so excited to share my single “90 years” with the world.  This song is very near and dear to my heart because I wrote this song for, and about my Grandmother.  This year my Grandma turned 90 and we were supposed to throw her a big party, but unfortunately, due to COVID-19, we had to cancel.  So my brother and I were brainstorming on what we could do to make her 90th birthday special, and then it hit us. WRITE A SONG. The inspiration was not lacking, and we ended up writing, recording, and releasing this song within a month!  To give some background and to understand the context of this single, I’ll tell you a little bit about my Grandma and what she has fought through.  Joanna Loepp was born on July 1st, 1930.  She raised 6 beautiful children, 3 boys, and 3 girls.  She was faced with every hardship and obstacle you can imagine.  She lost her husband to cancer when her youngest was only 5 years old.  She had a heart attack and a double bypass open-heart surgery.  She lost her son at age 44 to a heart attack.  She was diagnosed with bladder cancer, and then beat it.  Then, 3 years ago at age 87, she suffered a terrible accident where a shelf fell on top of her, shattering her hip and fracturing her face in 5 places.  No one thought she would make it through that, but here she is still dancing around at age 90!  She is the strongest woman I know and has taught me so much about strength and courage.  I think anyone who has a strong female figure in their life, will be able to relate to this song.  It is definitely a tear-jerker, so grab some tissues and take a listen.
