Sampha did the most today \u2013 thankfully. This afternoon alone, the British musician managed to unveil the tracklist for his first album in six years, LAHAI<\/em>, confirm its forthcoming release date, announce two new sets of tour dates, and<\/em> drop a new single “Only” alongside its music video.<\/p>\n

LAHAI, <\/em>Sampha’s sophomore album, is an authentic and personal exploration into the chaos and the calm of human existence; the album shares both his middle name as well as his paternal grandfather\u2019s first name. The album also sees contributions from some of Sampha’s closest friends, including Yaeji, L\u00e9a Sen, Sheila Maurice Grey of Kokoroko, Ibeyi, Black Midi drummer Morgan Simpson, Yussef Dayes, Laura Groves, and Kwake Bass.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, Sampha took to his Instagram to announce “Only”‘s next-day release. When delivering on his promise this afternoon, Sampha also dropped LAHAI<\/em>‘s October 20 release date in the caption.<\/p>\n

“Only” got quite the trippy visual treatment. In the Dexter Navy-shot music video, Sampha effortlessly slides over the contagious hip-hop-hued beat \u2013 and taps into some other supernatural skills. Check it out above.<\/p>\n

He also dropped off LAHAI<\/em>‘s full tracklist, which sees “Only” at number eight and “Spirit 2.0” \u2013 vibey cut from earlier this summer \u2013 at number two. See the full tracklist below.<\/p>\n

And for the melodist’s final act of the day? New tour dates. Sampha will be continuing his run of Satellite Business<\/em> shows \u2013 after returning to the stage for the first time in five years for his Satellite Business<\/em> residencies in London and New York earlier this year. This time, the artist is taking the intimate performance series to theaters in London and Los Angeles in October. “In the round, evolving the sounds,” he notes in the Instagram caption.<\/p>\n

He’ll then hit the road on the Lahai<\/em> Tour<\/em> in November, kicking it off in San Francisco. See the full list of dates \u2013 for both the Satellite Business<\/em> shows and the Lahai Tour<\/em> \u2013 in Sampha’s Instagram post below.<\/p>\n
