Sampha

"Timmy's Prayer"

BY Sarah MurphyPublished May 17, 2016

Sampha has a knack for hopping on high-profile collaborations with the likes of Kanye West and SBTRKT, but he hasn't dropped much solo material since his 2013 EP Dual. Eager fans are in for a treat now, though, as the UK electronic singer-songwriter has dropped a brand new single dubbed "Timmy's Prayer."
 
A sparse, moody beat showcases Sampha's haunting vocals as tension builds, though the pace picks up midway through the song, creating an aura of urgency before crashing into the song's climax and comedown.
 
Sampha shared the track on Twitter with a message explaining that he's had "a lot to process these past couple of years" and has been struggling to articulate it into new music.
 
Thankfully, he's finally reached a point where he can make that happen, and you can hear the results by listening to "Timmy's Prayer" in the player below.
