Little Simz on Friday 15 May shares new single Young, the third taster from her highly anticipated sixth album, Lotus, set for release on 6 June via AWAL Recordings.
Rooted amongst the frank reflections and searing honesty there is also a playfulness and a sense of daring on Lotus, perfectly distilled in the punk spirit of Young.
You may have heard the track being given an exclusive first play on Today Radio's NEW NOISE this morning, and it is one that will no doubt be a bit with our hosts and audiences.
A signpost of her range, bringing her gift for storytelling to the centre, Simz takes on a character, her voice rising to a high lilt, the bass transporting listeners to a world and a life apart.
Showcasing Simz as you’ve never seen her before, the barnstorming video for Young reunites her with the legendary director Dave Meyers, following their multi-award winning video collaboration for Gorilla.
Guided by the production from Miles Clinton James, Young is world’s apart from previous singles Free and Flood, revealing the scope and breadth of Lotus, and the shifting moods that take the listener on an expansive journey.
Pre-order LOTUS here.
