I have a confession to make. I love Seal's first album. The whole thing is musical genius. Upon releasing his 2nd album, he was asked something along the lines of why the quality didn't compare to the first. His answer, "I spent my whole life writing the first album." This is Sampha's debut and it is a beautifully crafted electronic R&B album. It's the kind of thing that an artist can spend a lifetime working on. This album is particularly poignant because the young man is dealing with both of his parents' deaths on it. His father bought him a piano when he was young to keep him away from the TV and the result of that shines throughout this entire piece. Just a little crazy.
