Incredible album
thanks to the internetOver the last few years, we have seen a resurgence of left of center R&B. Previously the neo-soul movement of the late 90s and early 200s presented the retro side of the genre where as more recent artists such as Anderson.Paak, Solange and Frank Ocean display a more futuristic presentation of soul. Eschewing throwback melodies and recycled production style, this new vanguard has sought to move r&b into a newer direction. Sampha is an artist who throughly fits into the latter camp.
Even though Sampha has been making music since 2010 like most American listeners, I was relatively unaware of Sampha until his contribution to "Saint Pablo" on Kanye's The Life of Pablo album as well as "Don't Touch My Hair" on Solange's A Seat at the Table album. Something about the tone and timbre of his very distinct vocals palpably conveyed vulnerability and the uncertainties of living in a confusing, hectic world. Upon hearing him on that song, I made sure to check out the singles that he had put out towards the end of 2016. "Timmy's Prayer" and "Blood On Me" definitely let me know that Sampha could offer more than just an interesting voice. His debut album, Process, offers an even deeper glimpse into the world of Sampha Sisay.
