Two-time JUNO nominee Samantha Martin & Delta Sugar have released their third single “Them Changes” from the upcoming live album A Beautiful Buzz.

The track, originally written and recorded by soul-rock trailblazer Buddy Miles, gets a bold, full-bodied revival through the band’s signature vintage soul and powerhouse roots sound. Anchored by a deep, pocket-driven rhythm section and blazing horn arrangements, this version leans heavily into gospel and Southern soul territory.

About the Live Album A Beautiful Buzz

A Beautiful Buzz captures the raw power, soul, and communal energy that have made Samantha Martin & Delta Sugar one of Canada’s most electrifying live acts. Recorded during the band’s Love Is All Around Tour across Western Canada in 2022, the album documents a band at peak intensity.

Samantha Martin reflects on the tour: “The Love Is All Around tour, initially set for January 2022, faced the trials of postponement until November 2022 — marking the closing chapter of COVID-era delays. By the time the tour kicked off, I was six months pregnant with my son. I’ve never been one to be easily deterred. So, clad in a winter jacket that barely zipped, our 13-person touring party loaded into a sprinter and a rental car and embarked on a tour from the sub-zero temperatures of Saskatoon to the balmy West Coast of Canada.

Each show was a whirlwind of energy and emotion, but one stood out above the rest. Perhaps it was the excitement of the final show, or maybe it was the realization that my life was about to change in a big way. Whatever the reason, the atmosphere was electric, filled with a beautiful buzz that I wanted to share with you. This album captures the magic I felt, and is a testament to resilience, love, and the power of music amidst life’s transformations.”

A Beautiful Buzz will be released on May 22 2026 via Gypsy Soul Records. The CD and limited edition gatefold double vinyl editions are available to pre-order now at www.samanthamartinmusic.com/store, with the digital edition available on all streaming platforms.
