Little Simz has released her vibrant new single, 'Young'. This track is the third ahead of her upcoming sixth album, 'Lotus', set to release on 6th June through AWAL Recordings. In this playful new song, Simz adopts the persona of another character: “I was able to tap into a character,” she shares about the track. “That was enjoyable for me. It’s simply a moment of fun.” 'Young' follows her recent singles 'Free' and 'Flood', and features a collaboration with director Dave Meyers for the video, after their success with the visuals for 'Gorilla'. The title 'Lotus' symbolizes renewal and growth for the rapper. The album will feature a lineup of notable collaborations with artists such as Moses Sumney, Moonchild Sanelly, Miraa May, Wretch 32, Cashh, Michael Kiwanuka, Yussef Dayes, Sampha, Lydia Kitto, Yukimi Nagano, and Obongjayar. The Mercury Prize-winning artist will celebrate her new release later this year with two significant arena performances. Little Simz is scheduled to perform at Manchester’s Co-Op Live on 16th October and at London’s The O2 on 17th October. You can view the video for 'Young' below:
