Sampha returns to Chicago in support of his sophomore solo album, Lahai

Superstars keep calling on Sampha. Perhaps you’ve heard his vocals and piano on one of the many features he’s done for Drake , or maybe you caught his 2022 duet with Kendrick Lamar on SNL . The UK musician has been a coveted musical collaborator since his 2011 tracks with Jessie Ware and SBTRKT. His gentle tenor makes an earnest counterpoint to the reference-packed boasts of major rap stars and helps color in the pop-art visions of R&B and soul singers such as Frank Ocean and Solange. But he’s released only one full-length under his own name to date: 2017’s Process , where he explores his grief over his mother’s death with piano ballads and garage drum patterns. It appeared on a stack of year-end lists and won the UK’s prestigious Mercury Prize.

Sampha became a parent himself in spring 2020. On his brand-new sophomore album, Lahai (due October 20 on Young), he addresses the fears and thrills of new fatherhood through soul melodies and rhythm arrangements that recall his youthful enthusiasm for house music. The two-word chorus on “Only” is straightforward in its message of devotion, but Sampha’s voice arcs across octaves and into a skillful falsetto that could thwart amateurs attempting to sing along. Bursts of horns feel like relieving the pressure changes in your ears on an ascending airplane. “Spirit 2.0” celebrates letting go of control and relying on loved ones for “Automatic self-protection / Like airbags in my limbs.” According to a recent Vulture profile , it’s his three-year-old daughter’s favorite song.

I appreciate when artists do what Sampha has here: take their time between projects and make each new release feel like checking in on a distant friend. I look forward to catching up with Sampha’s new material as well as old favorites such as “(No One Knows Me) Like the Piano” at this Riviera Theatre concert.

Sampha Announces 2024 North American Tour, Shares New Video for “Can’t Go Back”: Watch

By Matthew Strauss

Sampha has released the Saad Moosajee –directed music video for Lahai ’s “Can’t Go Back.” The clip arrives with the announcement of the musician’s 2024 North American tour dates. Find the new visual and Sampha’s tour dates below.

“I spent a lot of time predicting negativity would come my way based on previous life experiences. I would rush past everything thinking i had no time to do anything. I think writing this song was part of learning how to forgive myself in that state of being and to say it’s ok to start now,” Sampha wrote of “Can’t Go Back” on social media. “It’s not always too late. It’s just as important to slow down and recognise I have boundaries and a bandwidth.”

Check out “ The 100 Best Songs of 2023 ,” featuring Lahai ’s “ Spirit 2.0 ” at No. 49.

Sampha shares short film ahead of new album

“lahai: time travels memories” precedes his sophomore lp, lahai , by a day..

Sampha has shared a short film titled “LAHAI: Time Travels Memories” a day before the scheduled release of his second studio album, Lahai . The four-and-a-half-minute video — directed by Sampha himself along with Caleb Femi , is a vivid dreamscape, featuring pink lightning, time-lapsed plant and hair growth, and a kora that warps into a futurist vessel with metallic orbs embedded in its body and bright bulbs of light sprouting from its neck. The clip stars Kadialy Kouyate alongside Sampha and credits Yaeji as a co-writer.

“I always remember when I first heard Worotan by [Malian singer] Oumou Sangare and how fresh it sounded to me, and the deep, I could say, transportive spiritual feeling I got from listening to it,” Sampha says in a press release. “It felt like something I’d heard in another lifetime or something…Thinking about that and the thread I feel through to funk, jungle, grime and minimal classical music… all these sounds that have influenced this album… I day dreamed this visual idea and at the root of it is connection to the self and beyond. Trying to find grounding in time and space…discovery and questioning… how and what I carry and how I have been carried. Memories, relationships and dreams. I’ve always wanted to get into film making and this is my first public voyage… a visual poem… my directorial debut.”
