Sampha unveils new track, "Cumulus / Memory" featuring backing vocals from The xx's Romy
London musician, songwriter and producer Sampha has released a previously-unheard song, "Cumulus / Memory" to celebrate the two-year anniversary of his second album, LAHAI.
“Cumulus was the first song I wrote for LAHAI and the last one to be finished” says Sampha. “Living with it for some time, I really feel like I wanted to share it with people”.
Co-written with, and featuring backing vocals from Romy, the self-produced two-part suite was originally recorded as part of the LAHAI album sessions but remained unfinished until now, with Sampha continuing to work on it over the subsequent two years between spells of touring his acclaimed LAHAI live show.
"Cumulus / Memory" is out now via Young.
