Samia has delivered new single "As You Are" as the second outing from her forthcoming EP Scout.

Following the release of lead single "Show Up" last month, Samia has unveiled the Boone Wallace-produced "As You Are", which is the opening song from her upcoming four-track EP Scout.

Samia says of the new release, "I'm used to being around lots of people all the time so a year of quarantine forced me to consider which moments were truly meaningful and with whom. The chorus is a mantra and a response to the struggle to believe I'm worthy of love in a vacuum, that love can be pre-reflexive and worth our blind faith in it."

Scout will be Samia's first new collection of tracks since last August's debut album The Baby, and will feature a cover of When In Rome's "The Promise" with Jelani Aryeh.

Samia says of the EP, "It feels like a part two -- it's The Baby's slightly older sister letting her know that everything is gonna be alright."

"As You Are" is out now. Samia's Scout EP will land digitally on Friday (23 July). A physical version will follow on 13 August via Grand Jury, and is available to pre-order now.
