Today, Little Simz shares a video for the majestic, coruscating centerpiece of her widely celebrated album Sometimes I Might Be Introvert, ‘I Love You, I Hate You‘, directed by Jeremy Ngatho Cole.

Mirroring the vulnerability and emotion Simz expresses on the track, the dreamlike video follows a young man and woman as they confront faces of the past and self-reflect through art. The video for ‘I Love You, I Hate You‘ follows the previous visual offerings for S.I.M.B.I tracks ‘Introvert‘, ‘Woman‘ and the Obongjayar assisted ‘Point And Kill’.

The spectre she didn’t want to talk about? Her absent father. “Is you a sperm donor or a Dad to me?” she asks, as a funky guitar riff gives way to vibrant strings and a moving choral climax. “My ego won’t fully allow me to say that I miss you” she confesses. “A woman who hasn’t confronted all her Daddy issues”. As palpable as her anger – and sorrow – are, it’s in working through her feelings Simz finds some sense of resolution. In the last verse she concludes, “I’m not forgiving for you, man, I’m forgiving for me”.

‘I Love You, I Hate You’ covers such difficult material that Simz at first refused to write it. “Flo asked me, what do you love and what do you hate? I knew the answer immediately, but I was adamant I didn’t want to talk about it”.

Since the release of Sometimes I Might Be Introvert last month, Little Simz has performed on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert and Live on KEXP, shared an exclusive remix of her song ‘Venom‘ for the Venom 2: Let There Be Carnage soundtrack. Already hailed by everyone from Loud and Quiet and Uncut to Vogue and Elle as one of the records of the year, Sometimes I Might Be Introvert arrived every bit vivid, dense, and striking. Little Simz has embraced a sea of support, including widespread praise from triple j, Double J, NME, Rolling Stone, FBi Radio, the Sydney Morning Herald, Acclaim, Purple Sneakers, Best Before, Sniffers, Music Feeds, and many more globally. An undeniable modern classic, Simz effortlessly condenses any number of disparate styles and genres into music which thrillingly broaches the gap between urgent modern treatise and hip hop.
