Nigerian singer-songwriter Simi has announced that her highly anticipated album, “LOST AND FOUND,” will be released on July 5th, 2024. The announcement was made on her Instagram page, where she shared a heartfelt message about the personal journey behind the album.
In her post, Simi wrote:
“For most of my life, I have enjoyed the privilege of knowing myself deeply, unwaveringly, truly. In more recent years, I have also endured the discomfort of losing myself. Sometimes, to make room for something else that I needed to be – other times, because I could not, for the life of me, find my way. I felt like a stranger to myself. This version of me has been the hardest one to look at in the mirror.
Making this album is a symbol of finding parts of myself again that I hoped I hadn’t lost permanently. I don’t believe that we ever stop finding ourselves. If you’re willing to look, there’s always more. This is a tribute to the things we continue to find and rediscover.
When I sing, I do it first for me, then for you. In this order, because I can not give what I do not have. “LOST AND FOUND” is about me reclaiming my chemistry with music, melody, and love stories. I hope you feel it too when you listen. I hope you enjoy it, regardless of the journey that brought it to you. Experience it, knowing that nobody can bring you what I can. What I have. What I will. Glory to God.”
Simi’s introspective message highlights the deeply personal nature of the album, which promises to be a powerful exploration of self-discovery and resilience.
