Little Simz has announced her new album, Lotus, out May 9th via AWAL Recordings. As a preview, she’s dropped the thundering new song “Flood” and its accompanying video. Stream it below.
Marking Little Simz’s sixth studio album, Lotus is the follow-up to 2022’s NO THANK YOU. According to a press release, its title “embodies renewal and growth” while “mirroring her evolving artistry and the album’s thematic voyage through life’s intricate phases.” Pre-orders are ongoing.
“Flood” features dynamic, thumping production from Miles Clinton James and contributions from longtime collaborator Obongjayar and Moonchild Sanelly. With a whispered flow, Little Simz lets loose a torrent of lyrics hitting back at her haters.
On the last verse, however, she gives instructions for success: “Number three, take care of yourself/ Be vigilant, mind who you help/ You pray you can make it heaven/ And they’re tryna drag you to hell.”
Watch the Salomon Lighhelm-directed music video below.
Little Simz’s most recent project, the surprise EP Drop 7, was released last year.
