Little Simz Announces Sixth Album 'Lotus' with Lead Single 'Flood'

The British rapper explores themes of renewal and growth in her new album, set for release on May 9, accompanied by a striking music video for its lead single.

Little Simz's upcoming album 'Lotus' symbolizes transformation and resilience, inspired by the lotus flower's ability to thrive in muddy waters.
The lead single 'Flood,' featuring Obongjayar and Moonchild Sanelly, highlights Simz's introspective lyricism and a hypnotic, drum-driven production by Miles Clinton James.
The black-and-white music video for 'Flood,' directed by Salomon Ligthelm, employs dramatic imagery including matadors, prayer leaders, and relentless rain to amplify the song's intensity.
Simz describes 'Lotus' as a deeply personal record that pushes creative boundaries with new sounds and collaborations.
In addition to releasing 'Lotus,' Simz will curate the 30th edition of the Southbank Centre’s Meltdown Festival in June, showcasing her influence as both an artist and cultural visionary.
