Listen: SAM MORTON – ‘Never Understand’

SAM MORTON, the musical duo comprised of singer, songwriter and acclaimed actor and director Samantha Morton and music producer and co-songwriter Richard Russell, reveal their first new music since the release of their acclaimed debut album Daffodils & Dirt earlier this year. New single ‘Never Understand’ sees the pair putting their own unique twist on Ibrahim Hesnawi’s 1980’s cult classic; a drum-heavy, melancholic dub-inspired rendition that acts as an experimental tribute to the “The Libyan Father of Reggae”.

Over twelve startling tracks, Daffodils & Dirt builds a deeply personal musical world that feels simultaneously intimate and delicate, powerful and tough. The part-autobiographical suite of songs see spartan soundscapes providing a rich foundation for gorgeous, ethereal vocals, aided by a cast of musical collaborators that include Alabaster DePlume, Laura Groves, Jack Peñate and additional vocalist Ali Campbell.
