LITTLE SIMZ ANNOUNCES SIXTH ALBUM LOTUS, DROPS POWERFUL NEW SINGLE “FLOOD”
Little Simz has officially announced her sixth studio album, Lotus, set for release on May 9 via AWAL Recordings. Alongside the announcement, the acclaimed rapper has unveiled the album’s first single, “Flood”, featuring Obongjayar and Moonchild Sanelly.
Driven by thunderous drums, “Flood” marks a bold new chapter for Simz. Her fierce, husky delivery cuts through the track with an intensity that feels like an instrument of its own, shapeshifting alongside the relentless grooves. With immersive production by Miles Clinton James, the song weaves together the distinct voices of longtime collaborator Obongjayar and the electrifying Moonchild Sanelly, resulting in a hypnotic, raw energy that signals Simz’s unstoppable evolution.
The title Lotus symbolizes renewal and growth—an apt reflection of Simz’s artistic journey. The album is set to explore life’s complexities through a deeply personal yet universally resonant lens.
Accompanying the single, the visionary music video for “Flood”, directed by celebrated filmmaker Salomon Ligthelm, offers a striking visual gateway into the world of Lotus.
A multi-award-winning artist, Little Simz has cemented her place as one of the UK’s most compelling and innovative musicians. With Brit Awards, MOBOs, and an Ivor Novello to her name, her body of work—spanning mixtapes, EPs, and five critically acclaimed albums—continues to document not just her story, but the voice of a generation.
