London’s own Samm Henshaw will release his second EP of material – The Sound Experiment 2 – on July 15.
The first single from it, Our Love, is already around online:

Our Love was, says Samm, inspired directly by his childhood growing up in South London, and the experience of his parents [who are originally from Nigeria]:
“I wrote Our Love about a story my dad tells from when he first started dating my mum: his family didn’t approve, but he didn’t care.”
