if you told me this came out in 2013 i wouldn’t believe you and if you told me this was his debut EP i would also not believe you, sampha definitely established himself as a master of his craft since then but this 17 minute long EP hasn’t lost any of its brilliance 11 years later

Samoht is such a wizard when it comes to genre blending. whether it's combining soul, ReB, or blues, all with his unique voice, he is truly a joy to listen to. i recommend his album ALPHA

I don't know if this is a call for help, but I've been exclusively listening to one album for almost two months now. This masterpiece dropped in March, and I've clocked in about 300 listens, but who's counting? We are. Bonus rec, the boys and I have linked our Spotify accounts to last.fm to keep track of every song we listen to.Giveon has such a unique, well rounded, really deep voice. This is one of those albums where every song hits for me. Never thought I'd say this, but I think he may have even knocked Daniel Caesar off of my R&B artist throne.

i think this guy is painfully underrated. been revisiting this album a lot recently. his lyricism is some of my favorite. his dual role as a comedian comes through quite a lot but it transcends that somehow, some of these songs are still so raw and vulnerable just with a lingering humor to soften it. incredible stuff. also the vinyl is pink

i loveeee Love Deluxe in its entirety but this is the song that i’ve had on repeat recently! it’s such an enjoyable listening experience, it’s almost meditative and the combination of an all consuming love that’s so intense it’s almost devotional with the glitter of nostalgia… it could bring me to tears
