Sampha is a singer, songwriter and producer from London. His first album, Process, won the Mercury Prize in 2017. He\u2019s collaborated with artists like the XX, Kendrick Lamar, Drake, and Solange. If you saw the Song Exploder Netflix show, Sampha was in the Alicia Keys episode, for the song they did together as a duet. This year, in October 2023, Sampha put out his second album, Lahai. And for this episode, I talked to Sampha about the song \u201cSpirit 2.0.\u201d Coming up you\u2019ll hear the original demo, and some early voice memos.

Sampha recruited some collaborators for the song, like producer Pablo Diez-Reixa, aka El Guincho, who won a Grammy for his work on Rosalia\u2019s first album; plus Yaeji; and Lisa Kaind\xe9, from Ibeyi. But the song \u201cSpirit 2.0\u201d first took shape when Sampha was by himself, at home.
