The early hours of Tuesday morning had the internet hype machine going into overdrive after South London artist Sampha posted a heartfelt thank you to his fans, reflecting on the past two years and announcing his plans to once again share his music with the world. It didn’t take long before those plans turned to reality and it was time to delve into his brand new single, ‘Timmy’s Prayer’. The first solo release since his incredible 2013 Dual EP, Timmy’s Prayer envelopes the listener, gradually building from a simple melody toward a more movement-minded concoction, laced with warm electronica and bubbling synthesizers throughout. It’s not too clever for its own good though – Timmy’s Prayer places Sampha’s heartbreaking vocal as the centrepiece of the track, unwaivering in its desire to tell a story of a suffocating relationship. More of this, please!
