WONGIE SOUL BALLAD OF THE WEEK: sampha - (no one knows me) like the piano

sampha - (no one knows me) like the piano
honestly there's no need for any description to why this song is on our fave songs of the week list. just listen to uk singer/songwriter sampha bare his soul as he plays over a simple piano. taken from his album 'process' this is just brilliant!

WONGIE SOUL SONG OF THE WEEK: sampha - too much

sampha - too much
though many of us first heard this glorious song as a vocal hook in the drake song of the same name, the UK singer/songwriter has decided to release a sparse piano version to tease his debut album for 2014. it's a haunting number that you can't get out of your head easily. nice one.
