Two artists met at the perfect moment in their creative journeys and something extraordinary happened: They captured magic. Samantha e Adrian is more than just an album—it is the story of a profound artistic connection between Brazilian actress/singer Samantha Schmütz and American composer Adrian Younge. This record is the intersection where Rio and Los Angeles merge into a lush, cinematic, and deeply personal experience created by two musical soulmates.
Produced and recorded at Younge’s Linear Labs, an all-analog studio, Samantha & Adrian is a grand, orchestral, and soulful record. It’s a bridge between Brazil’s MPB tradition and the elegance of 1970s LA soul. With sweeping string arrangements, rich harmonies, and undeniable grooves, the album conjures the feeling of a lost classic—music that takes the listener back to a 1970s studio session yet feels entirely fresh and contemporary.
