Jun 5, 2025Little Simz has long been one of the most consistently interesting, innovative, and important artists out there - and with the arrival of ‘Lotus’, her legacy as an all-time great has never been more assured.
-
Jun 5, 2025She distils her pain, venom and eventual acceptance into 13 perfectly executed songs.
-
Jun 6, 2025‘Lotus’ is a developmental album that excels in a complexity of genres. It showcases Little Simz’s personal resilience as she takes on this vulnerable melodic journey to selflessly blossom in her introversion.

Jun 2, 2025Simz takes on several different genres, handling punk, samba and soul. The atmosphere is dark at times, but emotional honesty is always the priority: whatever style Simz tackles, she delivers it with impressive commitment. [Jun 2025, p.103]
