Sampha – Process
“Process is an album built to take your breath away. From start to finish, it’s a display of Sampha’s mastery as a lyricist, a singer and a musician. His voice becomes another instrument for him to play around with; each breath a considered move like the strum of a guitar. It’s a powerful album – emotive and, surprisingly, loaded with danceable hooks.” – 9/10, thelineofbestfit.com
“Process is an exercise in catharsis, a deep breath in that lays
Sampha’s soul bare through gorgeous vignettes of his life. He worries, he
regrets, he aches. He’s human.” – ★★★★★, theskinny.co.uk
Produced by Sampha and Rodaidh McDonald, this debut is set to be
Sampha’s defining artist statement.
Since the release of his debut ‘Sundanza’ EP in 2010 and 2013’s ‘Dual’ EP, Sampha has quietly but assuredly become one of the UK’s most enigmatic and respected artists.
Still just twenty seven years old, he has lent his vocal, production and songwriting talents to a range of standout releases, from UK contemporaries such as FKA twigs, Jessie Ware and SBTRKT to world-renowned superstars like Drake, Kanye West and, most recently, on Frank Ocean’s Endless and Solange’s A Seat At The Table albums.
Sampha will be performing live throughout 2017, including a run of UK shows. He has also recently been announced to perform at the Coachella, Primavera Sound and NOS Primavera festivals later in the year. He’ll perform one NZ show on Wednesday 24th May at The Studio, Auckland.
