The staggering fourth album from Little Simz, Sometimes I Might Be Introvert is out today, and to say it more than lives up to the unanimous praise heaped upon it thus far would be an understatement. LISTEN HERE.
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 arrives every bit as vivid, dense, and striking as its slew of varied singles suggests, from the epic opening missive of ‘Introvert’ followed by the gorgeous swoon of ‘Woman’; the stark, chilly tones of ‘Rollin Stone’ to the orchestral sweep of ‘I Love You, I Hate You’ and now ‘Point And Kill’ featuring Obongjayar.
It comes accompanied by the Ebeneza Blanche-directed video for ‘Point And Kill’, dripping with air thick with menace and encroaching danger. Filmed in Nigeria and featuring a diverse cast of aunties, macho men, dancers, policemen, and of course Obongjayar and Little Simz as a Bonnie & Clyde duo acting out variations of the title against a series of local tableaux, it is a breathtaking visual for the song and a more than a fitting coronation for the arrival of one of the albums of the year.

The ensuing tracks of Sometimes I Might Be Introvert, produced by Inflo in LA and London, run into each other seamlessly and enlist the rapidly emergent likes of Cleo Sol, Obongjayar, and even The Crown actress Emma Corrin, to create a kind of rangy, nimble storytelling which conjures up the febrile, strident world we live in with unflinching energy and vividness. These songs are flash-lit Polaroids, ready framed and developing before our very eyes, and their creator is nowhere and everywhere, documenting a new natural history in which moments of tenderness (“Miss Understood”) coexist with shocking violence (‘Little Q Pt 2’), and unabashed celebrations of femininity sit alongside deeply personal glimpses of introspection (‘I See You’).

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
