Dual [Clear Orange Vinyl EP]

Limited clear orange indie exclusive repress of Sampha’s breakout 2013 debut EP.

Following the low-key online-only release of Sundanza (2010) plus his noted collaborative work with Jessie Ware, Lil Silva, SBTRKT, and Koreless, Dual is Sampha’s first full solo outing.

The record was put together over a period of 18 months in the gaps between, and time after, an intense touring schedule with SBTRKT. Working from his childhood home in Morden, the tracks were written, produced and mixed by himself in isolation. Offering an intimate and idiosyncratic glimpse into his artistic intent, the EP, which includes “Indecision,” showcases Sampha’s talents not only as a vocalist but more broadly as a songwriter and producer.

Dual includes fan favorite songs that have become staples of his live set. The release precedes his Mercury Prize nominated Process (2017), his latest album Lahai (2023), and collaborations with artists including Kendrick Lamar, Beyonce, Solange, Drake, Travis Scott, Kanye West, Alicia Keys, and many more.
