Little Simz will release his sixth album “Lotus” on May 9th for Awal Recordings: the first single of the project is “Flood”with the participation of Obongjayar and Moonchild Sanlly. And there is great curiosity to understand what his next evolution will be. The thunderous beat of the drums, in the new song, marks the beginning of a new bold chapter for Little Simz.

With a ferocious flow, his voice becomes a real tool that turns together with the incessant grooves of the song. Led by the production of Miles Clinton James, “Flood” also combines two other voices: the longtime collaborator Obongjayar and the South African artist Moonchild Samelly. The result generates a rough and at the same time hypnotic force. The title of the album, “Lotus”, embodies the concept of renewal and growth and wants to reflect its continuous artistic evolution, as well as the thematic journey of the songi through the intricate phases of life. The video of “Flood”, directed by the renowned director Salomon Ligthelm, represents an important entrance door in the visual world of “Lotus“. In the song the British artist, through a game of numbers, creates a survival manual in the ruthless urban jungle: “Number one is to take your position, don’t trust all your hands tightening. If I enter the wrong code in the system there will be no permanent change. Number two, do not take it on the staff, this place is infested with snakes. Don’t be taken in your same trap. Each bad race has a good feature. Number three, take care of yourself. Be alert, be careful to those who help“.
