Thread of Little Simz

i mean, that was predictable

Turns out making an album that screams GIVE ME THE MERCURY for 65 minutes can actually pay off, who knew

Well she certainly knows what she's doing on stage. Terrific performer, what a star.

NO THANK YOU, An Album By Little Simz

new album on the way already

Ooooooh.

Someone mentions 12/12 there, but I'm yet to spy any actual date elsewhere?!?

that's when the spotify presave says it will come out

long awaited follow up to Grey Area

seriously looking forward to this, ought to be some fun

Long awaited follow up to Grey Area? Does that mean she's going to be good again?

The short time since the big, important album I think suggests a lighter affair that those of us who preferred Grey Area may better appreciate ... yeah

Idk. Last one was such a thudding grab at Bigness and Importance that it's hard to imagine something subtler, but I'll wait to be surprised

too late in the year for grand statements

I'm choosing to believe it's a whole-album cover of Coaltar Of The Deepers

I'm hoping it's something she and Inflo/Sault crew bashed out first-thought-bwst-thought...

more of what the last album was doing but it doesn't have the goofy overarching concept and is better for it

Wonder if it's leftovers. Where'd you hear it? Found this anyways... produced by Inflo!

NO THANK YOU 12/12/22 ⏳

it's the 12th here

After going to sleep to it then waking up to it (less than ideal conditions) I'm yet to hear the sort of instantly striking standouts the last two LPs offered. But yeah, it's relatively lean, smooth and non-goofy (and, with conspicuous Cleo Sol contributions etc, at least as Sault-y as ever) and I'm prepared to believe it's quite good.

I like how "Gorilla" is kinda sorta... old school boom bap!?

I'm on the first track and it sounds like Sault's long-awaited 6th album of the year

Or was it 7th

It's rather frontloaded, my favorites are probably the first two, title track, Heart on Fire. I don't really care for Broken (if that's supposed to be the centerpiece) and what's after.
I like that it hints at a collective album, but I'm not sure the warm and intimate soul is my favorite complement to Little Simz or that Inflo's at his most inspired.
Not a bad sequel but not very substantial.

Gorilla is great, one of my favorite things she's ever done

Absolutely love the production, can't see listening again to the songs anytime soon. :/

hey this is good!

this is pretty solid but it's a bit too one note until "who even cares" which is a welcome breath of fresh air. it's pretty good at the thing it does (late registration worship) but it doesn't move me idk

First couple of tracks are phenomenal but it really falls off after that

"far away" from the new ep is pretty good

It is indeed!

Yeah love that one
