Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Sam Valdez has delivered a new song “Farther Away” via SoundCloud.
The song is taken from her forthcoming debut EP, which is expected to be released this summer.
Last March, she released a debut song "Don't Want to Be Yours Anymore". Followed by, she released the second single "Hours" in Jun and the third single "It's Alright" in October. Three songs will appear on the debut EP with the new song.
She said of the new song, “The whole EP was written during a period of change, and ‘Farther Away’ deals with the feeling of becoming someone you don’t want to be.”
She will perform live at Bootleg Theater in LA on May 24th and at The Autry in Griffith Park on July 28th.

Last November, she told Vents Magazine, "Growing up I never really connected to where I was from or felt much comfort from it. In the last couple of years before I moved to LA I started taking walks out in the desert, away from the city and then I started feeling much more drawn to it. It’s so vast and there’s this wonderful sense of solitude that I really love."
Also, her music is influenced from Angel Olsen. "I’m such a huge Angel Olsen fan. There’s a haunting quality about her voice and writing. When I was first starting off singing I remember feeling pressured to have a higher and airy quality to my voice. Angel Olsen was the first artist I got into that had this low, broad vocal quality that made me feel more comfortable to sing in my natural deeper tone of voice," she said.
