Sampha has been gently massaging your tear ducts during recent years with his features on some of the best albums of the decade (Solange, Beyoncé et.al). Now that the time of his own debut album "Process" is dawning, it's time to stock up on aloe vera hankies or face a certain future of wiping your damp nostrils on your shirtsleeves too damn much. His new "No One Knows Me (Like My Piano)" strides forth on the path once trodden by iconic musical bi-peds like Nina Simone and Labi Siffre. Go get your heart-strings tugged live on his upcoming tour (Brussels: AB, March 12, 2017) and impress your future kids by regaling them with tales of "I was there when he played his first album to a room with just 500 people in it. Yes, we still had real rooms back then. No, I don't have a VR render of that. It was real and then it was gone forever. That was life then. It was bittersweet. Like his songs, I guess. OK, honey. Enough stories, time to activate your sleepmode. Kiss kiss."
