Space Aliens May Not Exist But This Sweet Sampha and Syd Collab Does

First up, as you will see in the above lyric video for new track “Show Love”, XL Recordings boss Richard Russell has a damn good vessel for holding incense. Check out that majestic, not too big and not too small Buddha – it’s the kind of contraption that has me wondering why I ever bought a wooden incense holder from the market and didn’t roll in the deep from the very beginning. Spiritual fathers, I have failed thee. Take my life.

Second of all – as you’ll no doubt already know from having read the headline and not being a complete dummy – there is a track featuring Syd and Sampha. Syd! And Sampha! What a beautiful duo (and weirdly a partnering of names that phonetically seem ready made for hosting a children’s television programme). Titled “Show Love”, the song is from Richard Russell’s Everything Is Recorded project – which you should absolutely read about in more depth here.

Now press that mother-fucking play button above!
