After releasing three singles at the start of 2024, Simi has announced her new album titled Lost and Found, set to be released in July. She revealed the album’s title and themes in an Instagram post, describing it as a journey of self-discovery and a reclamation of her connection with music, melody, and love stories.
Simi emphasized that she created the album primarily for herself before considering her audience.
Reflecting on her personal journey, Simi shared that while she has long had a deep understanding of herself, recent years brought challenges that made her feel lost.
This album symbolizes her efforts to rediscover parts of herself she feared were lost. She believes that self-discovery is an ongoing process and hopes her listeners can resonate with this journey.
In her message, Simi explained that her singing process prioritizes her own fulfillment before her audience’s, as she can only share what she authentically possesses.
She expressed hope that listeners will connect with the album and appreciate the unique qualities she brings to her music.
she 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.”
Ahead of the album’s release, Simi has already put out three singles: “All I Want,” “Boys Are Crazy” featuring Tiwa Savage, and “Borrow Me Your Baby” featuring Falz. Lost and Found, set to be released on July 15, 2024, will be Simi’s fourth album, following her 2022 release TBH (To Be Honest).
