Sampha Joins Speakers Corner Quartet For Euphoric "Can We Do This?"

Sampha Joins Speakers Corner Quartet For Euphoric "Can We Do This?"


February 15, 2023

Formed by Biscuit, Kwake Bass, Peter Bennie, and Raven Bush, Speakers Corner Quartet originally started life as the house band at the Speakers Corner open-mic night in Brixton, but are now making movements of their own. They've just dropped a fresh new single titled "Can We Do This?" and they've called on Sampha to cast some smoky, melodic layers over the delicate production.

Executed with a finely tuned attention to detail, the musicians create a sweeping instrumental backdrop of straightforward drums and piano chords, glazed with Sampha's backing vocals. Akinola Davies Jr. directs the black-and-white visuals that places us at the centre of a community to witness the smooth happenings of a bustling market with joyful children.

Speaker's Corner Quartet and Sampha blend into this dreamy world that peels back a few more layers of their visual aesthetic. "Can We Do This?" welcomes us into their realm of elegant blends of jazz, soul and anything that feels their creativity.

Tune in below.
