sampha

Dealing with the big questions through big soulful sounds, big production, and big performances, Sampha might just have crafted, with a little help from his friends, the ideal autumnal soundtrack.

Not unlike its maker, 'LAHAI' defies clear categorisation - Spanning jazz, soul, rap, dance, jungle and west African music, the album sees Sampha elevating his production and vocal ambition to great new heights. 'LAHAI' revels in the awe and magic of our existence, synthesizing the exquisite chaos that one experiences confronting the cycle of life and the beyondness. Spanning 14-tracks, with contributions from some of Sampha’s closest friends, peers and collaborators including: Yaeji, Léa Sen, Sheila Maurice Grey (Kokoroko), Ibeyi, Morgan Simpson (Black Midi), Yussef Dayes, Laura Groves and Kwake Bass, 'LAHAI', in contrast to Process, is a communal affair seeing Sampha explore the many ways in which we as humans connect to each other, and to something bigger than ourselves.
