When the month of March began, Joburg-based South African alternative hip hop artist, Sam Turpin returned to the mic with a new single titled ‘Broken Mirror’ after a short hiatus that found him playing bass guitar as a member of The Charles Gene Suite and rejoining his collaborative project Cold Chinese Food with producer Illa N. Pinned to a backdrop of a singing harp instrument, moody bass lines and rhythmic percussion, ‘Broken Mirror’ is said to find Sam Turpin lamenting the difficulties of being honest, integral and altruistic in a world full of shiesty individuals and manipulative social systems. Something that many empaths and introverts can relate to…
His versatile lyrics explore the moral dilemmas we all face when forced to make decisions within a social context while punctuating the verses with a chorus reminding us that “what goes around, comes
around”, a phrase we should perhaps remind ourselves of more often. The latest in a string of single releases and music videos, Broken Mirror arrives with the announcement of Sam’s next full length project, an upcoming mixtape titled Syncope which is set to drop very soon.
