Finest female vocalist and Nigerian Afrobeats songstress Simi has put her fans and music lovers in a frenzy as she has announced the coming of a new full-length studio album.
Dubbed ‘Lost And Found’, the forthcoming and much-anticipated project is scheduled to be out on 5th July 2024.
“For most of my life, I have enjoyed the privilege of knowing myself deeply, unwaveringly, truly. In more recent years, I have also endured the discomfort of losing myself. Sometimes, to make room for something else that I needed to be – other times, because I could not, for the life of me, find my way. I felt like a stranger to myself. This version of me has been the hardest one to look at in the mirror”
The singer added that making the album symbolised finding parts of herself again that she hoped she hadn’t lost permanently.
“Making this album is a symbol of finding parts of myself again that I hoped I hadn’t lost permanently. I don’t believe that we ever stop finding ourselves. If you’re willing to look, there’s always more. This is a tribute to the things we continue to find and rediscover” .

“When I sing, I do it first for me, then for you. In this order, because I can not give what I do not have. “LOST AND FOUND” is about me reclaiming my chemistry with music, melody and love stories. I hope you feel it too when you listen. I hope you enjoy it, regardless of the journey that brought it to you. Experience it, knowing that nobody can bring you, what I can. What I have. What I will. Glory to God”
