Currently, Samantha and Lazaro have been finishing a Brothers Gibb tribute album in honor of her late father and uncles. "It has been a long time coming and we are so excited it has evolved into a beautiful family project".

From the sultry, tango-inflected "My Spell," to the driving riffs and worldly-wise message of "Take It Easy," the dramatic, Roy Orbison-esque acoustic balladry of "I'll Stay," and the chugging rock riffs and pop-perfection harmonies of the title track, Wrong Side is the product of three powerful, distinct musical personalities. Once again, it's the concept of The Cartel - individual forces uniting to pursue a shared purpose. In the short term, that purpose is promoting their new EP and spreading the word about Samantha Gibb & The Cartel worldwide. This past June, the band crossed the pond for their first U.K. tour, hitting everyplace from London to Edinburgh. "We definitely have fans out there that have been following us for a while now, since the Luna Park album, It was great to get out there and finally get to meet some of them" says Nick. In the long run, though, the trio's goals have no ceiling. Responding to the notion that followers of her family's momentous musical legacy will hold her to an unfairly high standard, Samantha says "I think in music, standards should be high. It'll show in the work. I'm really proud of what we do. I want the standard to be high, because I want to keep getting better."
After almost five years in Nashville they decided to move back to their roots with a new outlook on music. Making Miami their home base once again, it seemed fitting that recently, Samantha, performed with her uncle, Barry Gibb, at Hollywood's Hard Rock Live, for his first solo concert in the US. With the great revues and success from the show, Samantha Gibb and The Cartel continue to write and tour.
