"I'am a Black woman and I'm a proud one."
Right after the epic orchestral opening of "Introvert", Simbi unfolds all her musical knowledge in a massive and edifying album. A real treasure going from neo-soul to her Yoruba origins, Little Simz' fourth album is a portrait of herself as well as a pedestal of power and affirmation for every black women in the world. Her music is striking and poetic at the very same time, an implacable well of ideas from "Point and Kill" to "Rollin Stone" and through the numerous skits, long but necessary, bringing hip-hop to new astounding heights. Written like a journey, Little Simz summarizes her most intimate and universal story, from her childhood to nowadays, a place where she's never been that imperial, influential and welcoming. Powerful is the head that wears the crown.
