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. Released on 9/3, the 19-song set, which gave Simz her biggest opening week in the U.S. and hit #4 in the U.K., 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. She kicked off 2022 with five noms at the NME Awards as well as four at the BRIT Awards, including Best New Artist.
