Album Description
Available in:
On his Mercury Prize-winning debut album, 2017’s Process, Sampha Sisay often cut an isolated figure. As the Londoner’s songs contended with loss—particularly the passing of his parents—and anxieties about his health and relationships, a sense of insularity and detachment haunted his poignant, experimental electro-soul. Arriving six years later, this follow-up presents a man re-establishing and strengthening connections. Lifted by warm synths and strings, songs are energised by the busy rhythms of jungle, broken beat and West African Wassoulou music. Images of flight dominate as Sampha zooms out from everyday preoccupations to take a bird’s-eye view of the world and his place in it as a father, a friend, a brother, a son. “I feel sometimes making an album is like a manifesto for how I should be living, or that all the answers are in what I’m saying,” he tells Apple Music. “I don’t necessarily live by what I’m saying but there’s times where I recognise that I need to reconnect to family and friends—times where I can really lose connection by being too busy with my own things.”
So where Process ended with Sampha ruefully noting, “I should visit my brother/But I haven’t been there in months/I’ve lost connection, signal/To how we were” on “What Shouldn’t I Be?”, Lahai concludes in the fireside glow of “Rose Tint”, a song celebrating the salve of good company: “I’m needy, don’t you know?/But the fam beside me/Is what I needed most”. Before then, Lahai examines Sampha’s sense of self and his relationships through his interests in science, time, therapy, spirituality and philosophy. “I became more confident with being OK with what I’m interested in, and not feeling like I have to be an expert,” he says. “So even if it comes off as pretentious at times, I was more comfortable with putting things out there. That’s an important process: Even in the political sphere, a lot of people don’t speak about things because they’re worried about how people will react or that they’re not expert enough to talk on certain things. I’m into my science, my sci-fi, my philosophy. Even if I’m not an expert, I could still share my feelings and thoughts and let that become a source of dialogue that will hopefully improve my understanding of those things.” Started in 2019 and gradually brought together as Sampha negotiated the restrictions of the pandemic and the demands and joys of fatherhood, the songs, he says, present “a photograph of my mental, spiritual, physical state” - Apple Music
