Simi, Nigerian singer and songwriter, has finally released her highly anticipated album, “Lost and Found.” This 14-track which comes across as a journey of self-discovery is a blend of introspective lyrics and captivating melodies.
“Lost and Found” is deeply personal. Simi explores themes of self-exploration, the complexities of love and the unwavering strength of women. But fear not, fans – her signature vocals remain constant, captivating listeners throughout. The album is further enriched by a stellar lineup of collaborators, including the legendary Asa, the rising star Lojay, industry veteran Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey and the ever-impressive Ladipoe.
The album’s pre-release singles, “MEN ARE CRAZY” and the Falz-assisted “BORROW ME YOUR BABY (BMYB),” fueled the anticipation fire, leaving fans desperate for the full experience. “Lost and Found” doesn’t disappoint. Tracks like “Woman To Woman” are anthems waiting to happen, empowering women with fierce lyrics and Simi’s undeniable charisma.
Simi isn’t afraid to play with nostalgia. “Jowo” features a clever sample of Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey’s classic hit, creating a beautiful bridge between generations. She even revives the viral sound of 2020 with a fresh take on “Know You II” featuring Ladipoe. But the true magic lies in Simi’s storytelling. “Borrow Me Your Baby” alongside Falz is a prime example – a witty and relatable narrative that showcases both their artistic strengths.
Simi has reclaimed her artistic voice, explored new sounds and delivered a project that is both deeply personal and universally relatable. This is a must-listen for any fan of Afropop or good music in general.
