In Sam's musical world eclecticism rules. Take for instance two of the standout tracks here: "Mama", released last year as a single, features rappers Snatcha and Shabach and is a hip-hop mash up of the popular African song "Seun Rere" while "Everything Within Me" is an infectious piece of pop-rock worship. Elsewhere you've got guest appearances from such diverse figures as singer/songwriter Kristina Myles, reggae man Osmond Collins and Muyiwa of Riversongz. If you're looking for a project daring enough to mix Afro beats with rock and reggae with Sam worshiping the Lord in Yoruba then 'The Mission/The Vision' is for you.
