Sampha takes on love, spirituality and grief in newest album, ‘Lahai.’
It’s been over six years since Sampha dropped Process, the Mercury Prize-winning breakout that placed the London-based singer/songwriter at the center of the British indie music scene. Process was an exploration of Sampha’s mortality, engulfed by grief and loss of his mother, and driven by a somber blend of acoustic and electronic instrumentation––all earmarked by his soulful, rich voice.
Sampha is a generational talent who has once again delivered a rich, emotional work for us to process.
While the British singer’s last album unpacked the grief of his mother’s death, “Lahai,” due this month, is brighter and more expansive.
