About this deal
A few hours before the album’s release, Simbi released the fifth and final single “Point and Kill.” Once the record was out, she wrote:
Little Simz – Sometimes I Might Be Introvert (2021, Red
The way that Simz and Inflo (Producer) Little Simz really gave us her masterpiece here. SIMBI is cinematic, grandiose, and wide scoping... They don’t always succeed. Even so, the occasionally overwhelming effect of all that mental offloading seems a fair price to pay in exchange for an artist determined to cram their character into every corner of their work. Sometimes I Might Be Introvert may or may not provide a commercial boost for its maker, but this rich, fascinating album cements Little Simz’s significance regardless.Little Simz – Sometimes I Might Be Introvert. Released via Age 101. Available on Indies Exclusive Red & Yellow Vinyl LP, Milky Clear Vinyl LP & CD

But there’s still that nagging doubt. On “Standing Ovation,” she sits at home, surrounded by her spoils, asking “What is it I’m meant to be?” Twelve years ago, Simz was asking a similar question in a different way. She was standing outside London’s Roundhouse theatre in a throng of teenage boys, trading verses over rough, beatboxed grime instrumentals. “They say they wanna be a superstar, but are they gonna work hard to achieve that?” she rapped into the circle of adolescents. More than a decade on, her work is there to see. Much of it has been concerned with figuring out who Little Simz is and where she stands; Sometimes I Might Be Introvert still tugs at that thread. This is the sound of Simz reconciling with Simbi. And it sounds great. Cue the ovation.Over the course of her lush, expansive, defiantly sprawling new album, “Sometimes I Might Be Introvert”, released on Age 101, the Ivor Novello award-winning, Mercury nominated Little Simz delivers an undeniable modern classic, effortlessly condensing any number of disparate styles and genres into music which thrillingly broaches the gap between urgent modern treatise and hip hop.
