On Friday, October 28, Sampa The Great released the music video for her song “Let Me Be Great,” featuring Beninese musical legend Angélique Kidjo, released via Loma Vista Recordings. This video follows the release of her latest album As Above, So Below.
Set in an animated CGI world and directed by Pussy Krews, the music video features Sampa surrounded by towering sculptures and beautiful natural landscapes. Aesthetic visuals of vines and mountain peaks create Sampa’s musical universe in which she pays homage to Africa. “Let Me Be Great” is an anthem of authenticity and self-empowerment featuring Kidjo’s trailblazing influence.
Sampa delivered a series of rescheduled live performances across Australia, including Sydney and Melbourne. She travelled the globe, performing at festivals like Glastonbury, Primavera Sound and Lollapalooza, and even made her debut at Coachella 2022. Sampa’s forthcoming Hamer Hall shows follow her recent support of Billie Eilish on her Happier Than Ever Tour, and Sampa’s headline show at Sydney’s Phoenix Central Park. Sampa The Great is also featured in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever trailer with her song “Never Forget.”
