"Satellite Business 2.0" is a song by the British musicians Sampha and Little Simz, which was released on 16 July 2024 as the first single from the deluxe edition of Sampha's Lahai album. It is a reworking of the Lahai track "Satellite Business", and was first performed with Little Simz at Sampha's sold-out Alexandra Palace shows in April 2024.
Speaking about the collaboration with Simz, Sampha said "Satellite Business was one of the last tracks to be recorded for Lahai and I'd always imagined a guest verse to expand on it. Simz's music has been close to my heart and ears for sometime now which makes her being on this song that more special. She’s one of my favourite artists."[2]
Little Simz added that she was "so honoured to be a part of this record with Sampha", labeling him "one of the most important voices in music today". She added: "We have great musical chemistry and respect of each other's process. Glad I got to stand alongside him on this."[3]
The track has been met with positive reviews by music critics such as Pitchfork and Stereogum.[citation needed]
