Sampha has unveiled a new version of his track ‘Lahai’, called ‘Satellite Business 2.0’, which now features Little Simz. The new release comes from the British singer-songwriter’s latest album and expands upon the track’s original interlude version. Speaking about the single, Sampha stated that Little Simz’s music had been close to his heart for some time and that she was one of his favourite artists. Little Simz, in turn, said working with Sampha was an honour, and she felt that he was genuinely one of the most critical voices in music today. Sampha’s active collaborations with Romy and Headie One should give music fans plenty of excitement for future releases.
Little Simz recently made headlines as she delivered a headline-worthy performance at Glastonbury 2024. “Since she emerged, a decade-and-a-half ago, Simz has established herself as one of the country’s greatest contemporary artists – and, fortunately, she seems to know it”, commented NME’s Jordan Bassett. Sampha himself has been busy with his collaborations with other artists such as Romy and Headie One. The singer-songwriter stated that the genesis of ‘Satellite Business 2.0’, an expansion of one of the interlude tracks on his new album, had evolved from playing it live over the past year. The audience reception had inspired him to follow it up with this new track.
Overall, Sampha’s ‘Satellite Business 2.0’ adds a new depth to ‘Lahai’, and it will appeal to fans of both artists. The emotional strength of Sampha’s music and the fearless creative bravery of Little Simz bring a unique perspective to the track. Both artists’ abilities to navigate the path between deep lyrics and the exquisite aura of exciting sonics is admirable. While the song is a perfect blend of each artist’s strengths, it is unlikely to be the last collaboration between Little Simz and Sampha
