“stunning introspection from a true great”
“Little Simz remains unstoppable with the cinematic storytelling of Sometimes I Might Be Introvert”
“Something’s shifted for the revered, MOBO and Ivor Novello award-winning rapper and poet Simbi Ajikawo (AKA Little Simz). On the epic, 19-track Sometimes I Might Be Introvert (S.I.M.B.I), it feels like there’s a new currency that she trusts. Little Simz is drilling more deeply now, and touching on some of the most acute personal issues. And it’s resulted in her finest work yet. She sets the tone ”
“SIMBI finds a leveled-up Simz returning to wonderland.”
“Grammar pedants note: north London rapper Little Simz absolutely knows what she’s doing. “I see sinners in a church,/ Sometimes I might be introvert,” goes the full line from the title track of her extraordinary fourth album: it scans, and casts Simz as a righteous, big-picture witness. She really is no wallflower. Heralded by a martial fanfare, Simz’s outgoing, soul-baring record knows how to be”
“On her fourth album, the UK rapper wrestles with the split between her public persona and private self, raising broadly relatable questions about the craving for validation.”
