Sampha recently unveiled a soul-stirring new track called “Plastic 100°C” during a shoot to promote The FADER‘s upcoming summer issue. The talented young singer from South London engaged in a simple piano arrangement of the song that immerses listeners into a winding river of high and falsetto notes. The video was captured on the rooftop of his record label’s studio (Young Turks).

The songwriter, who made his breakthrough in a track with SBTRKT and contributed to Kanye West’s “Saint Pablo,” is currently preparing to release his first full-length solo album sometime this year. Check out the video above and stay tuned for more updates.
