Some voices transcend music and touch your soul whenever you hear them. Growing up I had Stevie Wonder and Anita Baker on that list. In recent times it has been a pleasure to add Sampha to it.

When I first heard Sampha around four years ago, I had “Too Much”, “Indecision” playing on rotation for months. Each time the songs came on, they invoked the same emotions inside me. I can truly say Sampha pierced my spirit with just his voice and a piano. The guy has a special talent.

Now, well overdue in my opinion, Sampha is beginning to get the public recognition that a talent as rare as his deserves. His debut album ‘Process’ picked up the Mercury Music Price for British Album of the Year, beating a host of household names to the award.

If you haven’t heard Sampha, I’d suggest sampling the following tracks from his back catalogue before graduating to his newer material….

“Indecision”

“Too Much”

“Without”

You can pick up Sampha's debut Album Process on iTunes
