LIST PICK

LITTLE SIMZ CUSTOMZ

For Little Simz’s second release this year following her sophomore LP, Stillness in Wonderland, she returns to the core of her sound, one that’s honest, playful, intelligent and set against a chilled backbeats and a smooth production courtesy of Astronote. The London rapper co-wrote ‘Customz’ - a collection of experiences, thoughts and feelings around being a touring musician on an international level - with singer-songwriter Bibi Bourelly. Speaking about how the track came about, Bourelly casually says, “Once in awhile you might get a random message on Sunday eve from Simz saying she wants to do something that make her happy and doesn’t hurt anyone.” It’s raw, unmastered and crammed with highly quotable lyrics. - HT
