Put Sampha behind a piano and he can transform any array of words into an ethereal melody. Hot off the release of his sophomore album Lahai<\/em>, the soulful musician hit BBC Radio 1\u2019s Live Lounge to deliver a rendition of Steve Lacy‘s “Bad Habit”, as well as Lahai<\/em> cut “Only.”<\/p>\n

Sampha makes Lacy’s Gemini Rights<\/em> cut his own, delivering a passionate yet stripped-back version of the upbeat song from behind the piano \u2013 aided only by a sparse drum beat. Watch Sampha work his magic on “Bad Habit” in the gallery above.<\/p>\n

The UK singer-songwriter also graced fans with a performance of “Only,” lifted from his deeply personal six-years-in-the-making album, Lahai, <\/em>named after Sampha’s grandfather, whom he also shares a middle name with. \u201cI was just thinking a lot about my lineage and connections and things I\u2019ve lost and people I\u2019ve lost,\u201d Sampha explained of the importance of the album’s title. \u201cI felt like that name was a great bridge that connects me to my ancestry, while also looking forward to myself.\u201d
