Little Simz is an artist that's had everyone talking this year. Recent singles like "Woman" [1] and "Introvert" [2] have touched on themes of oppression, race, and sisterhood, and it's clear that her forthcoming album, Sometimes I Might Be Introvert, is going to be a big one.
To mark the album's release on 3 Sept., Simz performed a number of the tracks for NPR's Tiny Desk Concert [3], which included "Introvert", "I Love You, I Hate You", "Point and Kill" (featuring Nigerian artist Obongjayar), and "Woman". Unsurprisingly, the London-based rapper did not disappoint.
Prior to performing "I Love You, I Hate You", a song that Simz wrote about her relationship with her father, she shared with fans that "This song is a very deep and personal one; it's from my new album, Sometimes I Might Be Introvert. It took a lot to write this song, and I'm very proud of myself for writing it. I had to dig deep and dig somewhere that is very uncomfortable, but I think it made for a positive result."
Sometimes I Might Be Introvert will be available on all streaming platforms from 3 Sept. 2021.
