Little Simz has a new producer. Even if the reason is rather sad (her past companion Inflo owes Little Simz £1.7 million), it’s for the best for the rapper. Her lyrics are biting and full of pointed, calm anger, her delivery dares to cross several lines when she picks Inflo apart. And the music is raw and vital. In the past, producer Miles Clinton James had already contributed writing and individual instruments. On Lotus, he returns the energy space to Little Simz that Inflo’s increasingly redundant, washed-up canned soul had rather confined in the past.
