Nigerian singer-songwriter Simi has announced the release of her highly anticipated new album, “LOST AND FOUND,” set to drop on July 5th, 2024. In a heartfelt message to her fans, Simi opened up about the personal journey that inspired the creation of this album.
For most of my life, I have enjoyed the privilege of knowing myself deeply, unwaveringly, truly, Simi shared. In recent years, I have also endured the discomfort of losing myself. Sometimes, to make room for something else that I needed to be other times, because I could not, for the life of me, find my way. I felt like a stranger to myself. This version of me has been the hardest to look at in the mirror.
Simi describes making this album as a journey of self-discovery and healing. “Making this album symbolises finding parts of myself again that I hoped I hadn’t lost permanently. I don’t believe that we ever stop finding ourselves. If you’re willing to look, there’s always more. This is a tribute to the things we continue to find and rediscover.”
The album, titled “LOST AND FOUND,” reflects Simi’s efforts to reclaim her connection with music, melody, and love stories. She emphasises that her music is deeply personal and authentic, created first for herself and then for her listeners.
When I sing, I do it first for me, then for you. In this order because I cannot give what I do not have, she explained. LOST AND FOUND is about me reclaiming my chemistry with music, melody, and love stories. I hope you feel it too when you listen. I hope you enjoy it, regardless of the journey that brought it to you.
Simi’s message concludes with a heartfelt sentiment, encouraging listeners to experience her music uniquely. “Experience it, knowing that nobody can bring you what I can, what I have. What I will. Glory to God.”
As Simi prepares to release “LOST AND FOUND,” fans eagerly anticipate the new music, looking forward to the emotional depth and authenticity that has characterised her previous works. “LOST AND FOUND,” The Album, will be available on all major streaming platforms starting July 5th, 2024.
