Sampha - Lahai (Vinyl)
Sampha's Lahai, his first album since 2017's Process, is a layered exploration of personal and collective histories. Born to Sierra Leonean parents and raised in London, Sampha draws on a range of influences while weaving his signature vocal delivery with nuanced production choices. The album title, named after his late grandfather, sets the tone for its introspective themes, balancing intricate musicality with Sampha's meditative lyrics. Throughout his career, Sampha has collaborated with a wide spectrum of artists, from Kendrick Lamar and Stormzy to Drake, Solange, Frank Ocean, and Alicia Keys. On Lahai, he embraces a more expansive sound, enlisting guest contributions that deepen the sonic landscape. His track record as a Mercury Prize winner for Process adds weight to the anticipation surrounding this release.

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
SHIPPING
Flying Nun offers free shipping in Aotearoa New Zealand on orders over $80. We have record stores in both Auckland and Wellington and will ship your record from whichever store is nearest. We aim to pack send your order next business day. Pick ups are also available from both stores.
