      His new album is so transportive, I’ll take one song for example, blue tint, gives you this feeling of being in 3rd person, viewing a Timelapse of families gathering around during the holidays , with nothing but laughter, side chatter, and togetherness.

      Most musical artist will have several interpretations of a song, before they arrange and cut the release version. The ones that didn't get pressed up are what they whip out for live shows. Some people like that - some don't. The ones that don't want a live performance to be everything they heard just like on the album.

    Out of this world artists get you to feel like you're in another dimension... The whole band is unbelievably talented, they all sound so wonderful, there's so much feeling, so much soul, my heart is happy and so full.
    And his voice....... Oof ! How he makes you fly and so high...
    Together with those back vocals, smooth!
    This is everything that's good in the world 🧡

    Samphas musicianship, production and mixing is elite, with his voice alongside it is perfection. His new album was >>>> I also love that he doesn’t write songs to be mainstream with a catchy hook. He writes what he wants and it’s so good

    If there were a word more beautiful than beautiful, it would be this video. The experience of seeing Sampha and his team perform live in Toronto on November 4th will always be unmatched. This just took me back again.
    Every note, every vocal, every beat of Without brings chills to my body. Such a perfect song. It itches that one part of the brain. I wish I could relive seeing it live in Danforth, brought me to tears literally.

    I don't know how they all met but I feel like when they talk about things that were brought together by the universe they are talking about such stuff. They can all sing and can all play an instrument. That's really beautiful to watch cause they jam so well together and sound really really good together . I hope they stick together for a really long time . They sound really good. One of the best Desk performances for this year . Class act !
