WORLD TOUR DATES ANNOUNCED INCLUDING AUCKLAND
Friday 4th November – Sampha today announces details of his highly-anticipated debut album. Titled Process, the ten track album will be released on 3rd February 2017 via Young Turks, featuring the singles ‘Timmy’s Prayer’and ‘Blood On Me’.
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 stand out releases, from UK contemporaries such as FKA twigs, Jessie Ware and SBTRKT to world-renowned superstars like Drake, Kanye West and, most recently this year, on Frank Ocean’s Endless and Solange’s A Seat At The Table albums. Now it’s time for Sampha to tell his own story and Process, produced by Sampha himself and Rodaidh McDonald, is set to be his defining musical statement.
Process track list:
1. Plastic 100°C
2. Blood On Me
3. Kora Sings
4. (No One Knows Me) Like The Piano
5. Take Me Inside
6. Reverse Faults
7. Under
8. Timmy’s Prayer
9. Incomplete Kisses
10. What Shouldn’t I Be?
Process will be available on LP, CD and digitally and is available to pre-order now HERE
