This week Démar and Adriel discuss Sampha's second studio album 'Lahai', its ability to defy genre, Sampha's poetic songwriting and whether it's already the album of the year.
Démar’s rating: 9.5 / 10
Adriel’s rating: 6.5 / 10, then 7.5/10 and finally 8/10
P.S. I saved Adriel's entire career on this one. He was gonna give this album a 6.5 outta 10. 6.5!!!! This is probably gonna be the album of the year! ~DThe Love List: Suspended, What If You Hypnotise Me?, Dancing in Circles, Satelite Business, Spirit 2.0, Stereo Colour Cloud
