Drawing influence from '60s soul and '90s rock, London's Samson Ashe debuts on the UK's R&B scene with hazy, rollocking first release "Too Rough". It's hard to place just where Samson's sound fits, genre-wise, but that's OK, because that's the the mark of an awesome artist and song. Switching between a raspy baritone and a clean falsetto, Ashe laments over his brusque persona and a difficult relationship, and the song constitutes a deeply personal look into his life—one we can't wait to hear unfold in song more. Check out this one below, and let's hope another song comes out pretty soon.
