The wonderfully talented British artist has announced a brand new album, <em>Sings Again<\/em>, set for release on May 22nd through Human Chorus. Following a period spent exploring instrumental forms, the upcoming <em>Sings Again<\/em> finds Samson returning to vocal-led songwriting. His voice, which he always treated just like another instrument within his ambient, electronic and acoustic worlds, comes back into focus again. <em>Sings Again<\/em> emerged from a period of profound personal change and recalibration. In April 2024, Samson took part in an ayahuasca ceremony, a powerful and challenging experience where he heard the words: \u201cWill Samson is dead.\u201d The visions that followed included encounters with his late father, memories from early childhood, and being taken to his own funeral. Speaking about it, he says:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cIn the months afterwards, I truly did feel as though something significant in me had died&#8230;and then through psychotherapy I was able to process the experience and also learn how to move forward with an emphasis on creating from a new internal space\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lead single &#8216;Signs Of Life\u2019 was the first piece to emerge, written during a period of depression that left him feeling disconnected from music altogether. Samson explains:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cWhen it came to the lyrics, I simply wrote, as honestly as I could, how I was feeling at that moment. A part of me died. So, I waited and watched for signs of life to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Beautiful and beguiling, &#8216;Signs Of Life&#8217; offers a striking glimpse of what Samson will be throwing at us.
