Spanning 13 tracks, Lotus stands as a wide-ranging yet profoundly introspective body of work. On it, Little Simz opens the door to her inner landscape more candidly than ever before.
Guided by the visionary production of Miles Clinton James, the soundscape moves fluidly across genres—melding elements of punk, jazz, soul, and samba into a compelling sonic tapestry. Within it, Simz threads together vivid snapshots and layered storytelling that offer a raw, emotional portrait of her journey as both a woman and an artist.
The album’s title, Lotus, symbolizes transformation and resilience—an apt metaphor for Simz’s ever-shifting creative identity. The record navigates a spectrum of deeply human experiences: the warmth of love, the ache of betrayal, the suffocating weight of fear, the shadow of insecurity, and the flashes of clarity and strength that come with healing and self-realization
