Sampha has unveiled a reimagined version of his 2023 track “Satellite Business” with Little Simz. Stream the stellar, starry collaboration below.
After years of searching for an opportunity to work together, the two artists were finally able to link up for the expanded take on this cut off Sampha’s acclaimed album Lahai. Throughout his 2023 tour, Sampha and his band would offer different takes on “Satellite Business.” Simz jumped on stage for one performance in April 2024, and a studio version of the joint effort is finally available.
To mark the occasion, a limited edition pressing of “Satellite Business 2.0” will be available in Sampha’s online store for the next 72 hours only.
“I’m so honored to be a part of this record with Sampha,” Little Simz said of the collaboration. “He truly is one of the most important voices in music today. We have great musical chemistry and respect of each other’s process. Glad I got to stand alongside him on this.”
According to Sampha, he’d always imagined a guest verse on “Satellite Business,” and Little Simz proved to be the perfect fit. “Simz’s music has been close to my heart and ears for sometime now, which makes her being on this song that more special,” he shared in a statement. “She’s one of my favorite artists. Her confidence and creative bravery are so refreshing. It’s amazing to see someone giving so much to their art.”
Sampha is in the midst of summer festival appearances with a handful of solo, headlining gigs also on the horizon. Grab tickets to one of his live shows here.
Meanwhile, Little Simz dropped a surprise project titled Drop 7 earlier this year, which we named one of our favorite albums of February 2024.
