Watch Sampha Cover a Chicago House Classic on BBC Radio 1 Xtra Live Lounge

Just days out from the arrival of his debut album, Sampha, is spoiling us with new visuals and live appearances. Just yesterday, the once reclusive r&b talent shared a breathtaking video for his new single “(No One Knows Me) Like The Piano.” And today, he’s the subject of a new Live Lounge segment from BBC Radio 1 Xtra. Here he performs the moody and emotional aforementioned ballad and delivers an ethereal take on Chicago house legend Roy Davis Jr.‘s 1996 classic, “Gabriel.”

Watch Sampha’s performances down below and pre-order your copy of his anxiously anticipated new album, Process, on iTunes today ahead of its official release this Friday.
