Though Gospel in pop music seems to have hit its peak back a half century back, elements of the sound has been creeping back up into modern music more and more in recent years. And I’m not just talking about Anderson .Paak. Born to Nigerian parents and raised in South London, Samm Henshaw started learning the basics in the same church that his father was a pastor while expanding his palette with everyone from Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson to Usher, Lauryn Hill, and D’Angelo. By 2015 he had begun releasing solo records and just one year later Henshaw was personally selected to support Chance the Rapper on his Magnificent Coloring world tour by the man himself.
It pretty much goes without saying that this soul-R&B singer will fill your spirit with joy, even at the tail end of this trying year, and the proof has come today with Henshaw’s aptly-titled music video and single, “All Good”!
