South London-based artist Samm Henshaw (aka Iniabasi Samuel Henshaw) proved why he’s at the forefront of the gospel scene with his uplifting performance of previously unreleased single ‘Thoughts and Prayers’ for his COLORS sessions this past week. His undeniably soulful and poignant songwriting encompasses a natural and innate sense of emotion that resonates from the very first note, word, line.

Bringing those gospel vibes once more to the COLORS stage for his A COLORS ENCORE performance, the singer/songwriter shares another gorgeous moment as he delivers a soul-stirring rendition of ‘Still Broke’. Opening with groove-infected bassy guitars that are topped off by energetic drums, Henshaw’s enlivening tones pierce the soundscapes as he sings about overcoming and growing past the darker times and letting in the light. Dive into the gorgeous performance of ‘Still Broke’ above, it’s a stunner.

It’s hard not to connect with the soulful intonations of South East London based musician Samm Henshaw. That’s exactly what happened when the rising artist delivered a stunning performance of ‘Our Love’ (taken from his ‘The Sound Experiment 2’ EP) for Later… with Jools Holland back in 2016. Since then, Henshaw has gone onto collaborate with the likes of Pharrell Williams, DJ Dahi as well as COLORS favourites EartGang and has released stunning singles like ‘The World Is Mine’, ‘Only One to Blame’ last year.

Creating the same magic and raw emotion on the COLORS stage today, Samm Henshaw brings his soulful vibes with a spectacular rendition of new single ‘Thoughts and Prayers’. From the get go, Henshaw’s endearing tones create a sense of home and warmth over gentle piano chords and hair-raising backing harmonies. Blossoming into an inspiring and thought-provoking cut that inspires and uplifts, ‘Thoughts and Prayers’ is one of those rare tracks that soothes both your soul and mind – experience the performance up top.
