WHAT IT IS: Little Simz’s critically acclaimed fourth album, Sometimes I Might Be Introvert, vividly displayed the striking depth of this inventive young artist. The 19-song set, which gave Simz her biggest opening week in the U.S., is her most ambitious record yet. Following her Ivor Novello and NME Awards victories in 2020, Simz won Best International Flow at the 2021 BET Hip Hop Awards and Artist of the Year at the Artist and Manager Awards.
