Little Simz: Mood swings

When her album “Sometimes I Might Be Introvert”, came along, it was treated as an instant classic, landing its way up to No. 4 on the UK Official Albums Chart and earning her four BRIT nominations. Her new music, Mood Swings, drawn from her album “Drop 7”, features an electric disco pop with an eclectic mix of African drums, adding a futuristic texture to her roots and its musical influences.
