“Emotion is energy in motion,” Little Simz says. “Honour your truth and feelings. Eradicate fear. Boundaries are important.”
Little Simz is riding the positive vibes after recently winning the 2022 Mercury Prize and has unveiled her new album No Thank You.
Simz won the Mercury Prize courtesy of her 2021 album Sometimes I Might Be Introvert, which was introduced with one of Live4ever’s top tracks of last year.
“’Simz the artist or Simbi the person?,’ she ponders. ‘To you I’m smiling but really I’m hurting/I dedicate my life and gave my heart over twenty-something years/Left wondering how I even feel’,” our review reads.
“Despite the tumult, there’s not an ounce of doubt in the music. Introvert radiates with confidence; in its production, in the subjects it addresses, in the ease of delivery which equally made the 2-minute lockdown nonchalance of ‘might bang, might not’ one of last year’s best records.”
“Above all this, and the singles which followed, have an unerring sense of vitality. 2021 may yet be awaiting the album which defines it.”
