Samantha Ronson has released her debut album, Chasing the Reds, on her own label, Broken Toys Records.

Nearly a decade in the making, Chasing the Reds is an account of heartbreak, compiled journal entries, compelling headlines, and every interaction in between.

The album, produced by Samantha and Jimmy Messer (Kelly Clarkson, Kanye West, Neon Trees), is a true testament to Ronson’s songwriting ability.

Samantha fondly recalls visits to the studio with stepfather Mick (Foreigner founder and guitarist), where she would find herself endlessly absorbed with the realm of possibilities the room contained.

It was only a matter of time before a lifetime of being surrounded by music propelled her curiosity to try her hand at songwriting. The catalyst was a guitar her stepfather left in her care for safekeeping:

“Once I picked it up, that was it. That was pretty much all I did. I started writing my own songs.”

Watch Samantha take on Alicia Keys’ “Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart” below:
