Sampa The Great has announced her second full-length album As Above, So Below with a single: 'Never Forget' features Chef 187, Tio Nason and Mwanjé and is a tribute to Zamrock, especially to the fantastic W.I.T.C.H., who will themselves feature on the record.

A five-minute epic, 'Never Forget' is an ode to Sampa's home country, a place that she relocated to during the pandemic.

"'Never Forget' is an ode to Zamrock music, a genre born in the 70’s combining traditional Zambian music and psychedelic rock. In particular, the song focuses on kalindula music. This tribute was inspired by the band WITCH and their lead singer Mr Jagari Chanda, who has become one of my musical mentors," Sampa said of the song.
