As a Nigerian this hit different to me. Everything about it makes me super proud. I feel ashamed that I am only just hearing this, can't wait to share it with my friends. Much love from Canada.
As a white man (no one cares, I know) This is easily going to be one of my most played tracks of 2023, I can already tell. I love the feeling this song gives me. I've replayed it 4 times dancing in my room vibing. This album is so good. Little Simz is a beaut.
This album isn't even out and it's going to be a classic. Every song is different and knocks it out of the park. Just got turned onto her with the tracks from this album and I'm a steadfast fan now.
Wow, I'm blown away. This is Art! A perfect blend of some many genres yet with it's own originality! The horns, the retro funky 60s fashion, the screenplay concept, spoken word-esque rap lyrics, everything. Fela and James Brown would be pleased! I hope Little Simz and Obongjayar keep this style up!
Heh, I thought of Fela Kuti as soon as she said "you can't use my water". "T'o ba fe lo we omi l'o ma'looooo. If you want go wash, a water you go uuuse."
I was thinking the same,,aß a Fela addict since 40years now, l can hear the groove, and l was waiting for that something New came up from Nigeria, This is the New afrobeat l love, trough musician, just pure music,,l love it
@@obanjespirit2895 by being herself, forging a path as an independent artist, and creating music that makes people feel proud of who they are and where they come from. She inspires me to put my work out there and help others do the same. It’s powerful 🔥
I watched this three times in a row. The cinematography and styling is quirky and chic. I love Simz's updo it is gorgeous. I love the music, Obongjya has a beautiful voice and Simz's flow makes the world go round. This music does not ask for permission to groove you..the music just grabs you and make you groove. I am sitting up here watching the video and the next thing I know my body just started grooving. Well done ya'll.
"Sometimes I might be introvert" is seriously one of the greatest albums I've ever listened to and now getting blessed with all of these beautiful mvs? Couldn't be happier, Little Simz has got it, pure talent
I recognize where she got her inspiration from (Touki Bouki - Journey of the Hyena and that famous black and white photo of a woman holding up a cutlass (machete) to a police man's neck. Great imagery is reincorporated in this music video. This is art.
For this to be my first exposure to this artist is probably one of the best introductory songs I've been blessed with! Now I have to check out the catalog.
I feel a strange disappointment, not from this music, but from knowing this is probably the only thing I'll find today that will hit like this. I am an instant fanatic, at the deepest level. Please, please, please never stop. This shit is absolutely next level.
The amount of young girls seeing little simz succeed and being inspired to want to keep following their dreams IS UNBELIEVABLE! THANK YOU SIMZ YOU SAVED MY CHILDHOOD SPIRIT FOREAL
I 100% agree, and that she's not advising girls to become "slay queens", and she herself isn't in her videos dressed like an ashawo. Nothing in what she's saying or wearing is rubbish, she's a correct one
Just watched her Tiny Desk performance and I'm floored by Little Simz's artistry. Her music is both electrifying and soothing. And this album is going in the music library of legends.
I found Sims through colour's, down the rabbit hole I am... No pun intended' :) Seems she's going from strength... Some, like, as above might have to eat their words.
I feel kinda bad that Simz' album was released inbetween Kanye and Drake's albums fighting over sales. Hopefully more people come around soon and appreciate her incredible work.
@@micha-estla6860 well sorta she released it on the same day as CLB I believe so that’s already a sign of terrible marketing but highly doubt little simz cares about numbers like certified boy lover
I'll repeat myself as many times as possible - this song but also video is an absolute masterpiece. I can't find the words - or rather I can't find words beneath 30.000 words... The colors, screenwork, lighting, camera... Stunning.
SHES REALLY GOT US. she's really got us. I've listened to this song like 6 times today and each time I'm like "shit God i gotta show this to someone they gotta appreciate how good it is." I'm just. I cannot wait for the albummmm
Holy shit, the absolute raw energy of the last shot. That is beauty, and art holy fuck, the emotion, that protective love, the absolute readiness to kill for fear of no man. I love you Simbi, you god damn genius.
Ngl I've never heard of this artist before, heard one of my neighbors playing the music, i shazamd the song and tbh it has been on repeat for 2 days now. I'm a huge fan now. I'm gonna listen to every song you've ever made.
the way Obongjayar first appears in the video is just mad sick and badass as FUCKKK also when he disappears between the hanging fabric at 1:52 is just cinematography at its finest, fuck this MV is just too good, I'm addicted to ittt!!!!!
This is a masterpiece visually and musically. Definitely a nod to Fela and Nigerian rich culture. So many rich colours loved the styling everything was intentional. The messaging had so many levels to it. The expectations of our parents, the corrupt with politicians and police. The symbolic nature of the cutlass and the unapologetic Black Love is beautiful if we move has a unit message. Black people and expression is not a monolith. It also gave me Queen & Slim vibez at the end it’s us against the system. It was dope but l expected to be ,very blaxploitation inspired, bloody here for it ❤️🤗🎬💫🎼🌍✊🏾
I knew Obongjayar since 2018 when I stumbled upon Never Change on the Mellow Styles playlist and immediately I knew he was truly of Nigerian blood. Thanks a lot for taking this home with this beautiful piece. Little Simz was seriously hard on this. Visuals The cinematography, costuming, production design and props team all deserve a solid pat on the back. Never leaving of the story interpretation through the lyrics. The last shot literally blew me away as the shot tracking back slowly. RATING A solid 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 performance
AfroBOPS on the riiiisseeeeee yallll! Love EVERYTHING about this! The fashion, the sass, the cinematography, the music, the authenticity, the reslness… Yes, Simz! Yes.
I know this album is GONNA BE EPIC!Little Simz, you're a genius - what a treat!! I bloody love the styling, the swag, the vibes and the bass on this song is dangerously addictive! You deserve every bit of success coming your way and more! We love you! ❤
Did anyone notice the slow motion of all of them at the end whilst the car lights are still flashing regularly. The slow mo action gave me chills at how precise it was. Genius.
This is on another level!! This girl is a little genius!! She should make like a 30 movie to go with her whole albums!! Her _vision_ is the stuff of legends!!
Would like to also throw some love towards Obongjayar. From the time I listened to "Which way is forward" I have been obsessed with him and I think he always brings something interesting to the songs he is involved with. Very happy to see these two work together
Encore Moi, tiens donc, juste parce que retomber sur cette musique qui est depuis le début dans mes favorites, qui me rappel chaque frisson que j’ai pu ressentir lors de votre interprétation à saint Luc Tournai ! Et toutes ces images Tournai … moi qui suis passionnée de passé et d’histoire,… j’ai vraiment adoré ! Vous êtes talentueux. Merci pour ce voyage dans le temps ! J’aimerai vous revoir en live !
I really wonder what makes someone click on the dislike button. I wasnt a Little Simz fan until now and never felt tempted to really take time to check out her work, but this here is amazing in my opinion. Being a Hip Hop guy since the mid 80s this put a smile on my face and made me feel good. Big up Little Simz
Love from Jamaica 🇯🇲....as Africans we are soooooo talented and soooo creative...love the vibe on this!...and even tho I don't understand the different languages from the continent...when I listen the music it feels as of I understand..you get me???
So, no matter which background you have, all different kind of human beings are creative. To create a tale of supremacist african creatives can go pretty wrong as it did with others before. Love the music, love the vibes, love creativity. But don’t be foolish by getting arrogant and hype nationalism.
@@neebell5056 are you ok? maybe you shouldn't consume any music made by Africans that show their pride for their country if your getting this but hurt over it this is the second comment I've seen you crying about it the thing is black Africans and many other POC have been put down for our cultures and have had stereotypes made from us so making content that celebrates our cultures and having other people appreciate it and uplifting is not the same as "creating a tale of supermancy" as we don't think we are better than anyone just fighting back against a system that has literally labeled black people as sub-human and our cultures as backwards don't know why you feel so attack all they said was Africans are so tanlented and creative I wouldn't have a problem if other groups of marglised people said the same thing about themselves
This is magical. What has been so fantastic is every track teased from "Sometime I might be Introvert" over the last few months has been epic in their own right. So looking forward to the Album dropping tonight. Work doesn't know yet but I'm taking the day off just to listen to the album over an over, get it ingrained into me.
Oooohhhhhhh...! The beautiful representation of our natural beauty! The sounds of every instrument, the drums are healing to my womb! Thank you for bringing the ancestors, living and passed with you into this musical divine greatness! Asé Ooo
Peace. New Orleans, La. (USA) is checking in 🤗. Yo seeing this side of Simz is…😳😍🤭🥵, and the traditional greatness of her west African origins displayed in the video, from a 70’s point of view,…powerful 🙌🏾💎🌍🔥✨.
Bless you Little Simz for giving us this beautiful song in your Tiny Desk performance and then debuting this video just a few days after. Appreciate it so much as a fan and it’s getting me even more hyped for the album!!!! 💗💗💗
Simz aging like a fine wine, been a fan since Gratitude...havent listened to ya in awhile, but damn did i come back at the perfect time. best visual ive seen in years
Lil sims…so UNDERRATED!!! Love the fact that she is ALL about the lyrics & concept & not just shaking her backside in next to nothing, great inspiration!
Soooo different from a few years ago. Production is up on a whole different level! I LOVED this!!! Obongjayar is so talented, great style and voice. I thoroughly enjoyed this, Simz, and yo, what's up with the million views girl? You just exploded!!! I'm soo happy for you❣
@@jwilliams6098 not even in the slightest, pharells voice is cleaner than obongjayar's and theres also the accent part, one being from the uk the other from the us

Thank you very much for telling this!
Thank you for this! I'm Senegalese but born in Australia, so I've never heard of this. Gonna check it out :)
Yeah I noticed!!!!
I knew it reminded me of something, I was wondering if it was The Harder they Come but no. So much great art comes out of Senegal!
Let's all pause, and give praises to the Father of this music, Fela Kuti!!!
No let’s talk about lil simz

This album is so good. Little Simz is a beaut.
this is not Nigeria bro, we’re suffering in real life
Greetings from Poland, great song
each time i play it everyone will be like is it cavemen, id laugh and say no is Little simz and i will also recommend Enny to them
The progression of Simz man. I haven’t felt this good listening to music since to pimp a butterfly.
THIS. I been thinking about this since Introvert dropped
So so agree!
In a similiar boat
she's done it all bro, cant wait to see what she'll do when she 50
Literally been listening to to pimp a butterfly all day… this album must’ve triggered my need to hear it again lol. Too damn soulful!
this is gorgeous. a masterpiece through & through.
Oml i love your music and taste as well aah
AMEN! 👐🏽

Agreed
What an epic crossover

Don’t say lil simz is one of the best female rappers. She’s one of the best rappers period, effortless on the mic
word. but also she's just a creative genius in music, words, visuals, and the whole thing.
Thats how i feel too... Her music is AMAZING!!! PERIOD!!! And im American lol
I comment something like this on EVERY Simz video I comment on
rapper? more like musician.
@@jl4414 you could say that too but people love to separate rappers and female rappers when in this case it shouldn’t be the case

@@mulalula Not yet, I'm about to go to sleep but I have the day off tomorrow so I'm looking forward to hearing it then! Thanks for the heads up.

The Fela Kuti influence is so strong in this song. Also love the homage to the picture of a Haitian mother protecting her son at the end!!

Heh, I thought of Fela Kuti as soon as she said "you can't use my water".
"T'o ba fe lo we omi l'o ma'looooo.

Exactly
Africans in America missed all this!? And they think Hip~Hop is dead. Back in the 70's we got Osabisa, Many Dibanga, and other African funk, RESPECT!!
Every scene in this was like a painting. Fucking genius work claps to everyone that made this!
Striking stuff, huh?

SIMBI is top 10 albums ever tbh

Touki Bouki, yes! Don't know of the photo you mentioned but would love to see it
@@lorenzaii The image is from a movie named Cristo Rey.
One of the best movies ever. People slept on the brilliance of Senegalese cinema from the 60s and 70s.

Same
We are in the same Wapp Group! First time seeing her and knowing her. U can't stop me oooooooh!
How did you like Introvert?
Its not her typical style but thats how you know shes just too good. Versatile, man, versatile.
Do listen to Stillness in Wonderland and all of her Colors (youtube) performances.
I feel a strange disappointment, not from this music, but from knowing this is probably the only thing I'll find today that will hit like this. I am an instant fanatic, at the deepest level. Please, please, please never stop. This shit is absolutely next level.
Yes finally music I have to keep listening to
Listen to the rest of the album! Obongjayar's discography, Little Simz's discography. This album is so good, and both artists are amazing!
At least WE have this now!
Good tastes, waluigi
This is going to win awards!!! It takes me back to the 70’s. The beat is legendary!!!!
That's Afrobeats for you bud, it never fails
@@frenzyjames true
My dad loves it
Remind me of Puerto Rico and the water shortages in the 80s
Getting some serious Fela Kuti vibes from this. Absolutely brilliant!

Same
Simbi in her home town Nigeria Nice to see she's tapping into the African in her!
This is one of the most powerful songs to come out recently, and it BEYOND INCREDIBLE!
Everything about this video is genius ❤️
agree
Mind blowing
I was fully transfixed elevated to beauty
really tapped into the 70's in the end there, even the lighting! dare i say
... Solid Gold!

When that horn break came in, giving me Fela vibes. I love it
A definite masterpiece, much respect for mixing Africans sounds and culture in there. The trumpet part reminded me of Ethiopian Jazz🎺🖤

Being a Hip Hop guy since the mid 80s this put a smile on my face and made me feel good. Big up Little Simz
She reminds me of Sampa The Great, who is also AMAZING
I ADORE her music. Can't stop recommending this to everyone.
We need an album of you two with this vibe and flow
Absolute beauty, this album is gonna be the best thing to happen in 2021
oh my god this woman is just magnificent. damn Little Simz.. You're gonna change the world.
Simz with the Machete is the whole vibe from now on.
I can't explain how good this is, even if I tried. Visuals, vocals, lyrics, finesse. No one coming close to Simz forever!
this is honestly one of the best songs ive heard in my life!
Love from Jamaica 🇯🇲....as Africans we are soooooo talented and soooo creative...love the vibe on this!...and even tho I don't understand the different languages from the continent...when I listen the music it feels as of I understand..you get me???
So, no matter which background you have, all different kind of human beings are creative. To create a tale of supremacist african creatives can go pretty wrong as it did with others before. Love the music, love the vibes, love creativity. But don’t be foolish by getting arrogant and hype nationalism.
@@neebell5056 are you ok? maybe you shouldn't consume any music made by Africans that show their pride for their country if your getting this but hurt over it this is the second comment I've seen you crying about it the thing is black Africans and many other POC have been put down for our cultures and have had stereotypes made from us so making content that celebrates our cultures and having other people appreciate it and uplifting is not the same as "creating a tale of supermancy" as we don't think we are better than anyone just fighting back against a system that has literally labeled black people as sub-human and our cultures as backwards don't know why you feel so attack all they said was Africans are so tanlented and creative I wouldn't have a problem if other groups of marglised people said the same thing about themselves
This is magical. What has been so fantastic is every track teased from "Sometime I might be Introvert" over the last few months has been epic in their own right. So looking forward to the Album dropping tonight. Work doesn't know yet but I'm taking the day off just to listen to the album over an over, get it ingrained into me.
That's what's up!
YO AFRICA I BELIEVE THIS KID GOT WHAT IT TAKES 🤞🏿 ua-cam.com/video/mo5cc9fpZDI/v-deo.html
Oooohhhhhhh...!
The beautiful representation of our natural beauty! The sounds of every instrument, the drums are healing to my womb!
Thank you for bringing the ancestors, living and passed with you into this musical divine greatness! Asé Ooo
Simz just a breath of fresh air. This album is God send 🙏🏽 Point and Kill...
The beat is mad...the groove is insane...the visuals are gorgeous💯👏
Unglaublich gut!
Ist das hier der Deichkind social media manager der den Account vergessen hat zu wechseln oder hat jemand von Deichkind diesen Song gemocht? :D
fjeden.
Ist so Bruder
Deichkind einfach hahaha
I'm a world rap legend from Russia
Ya'll make it look easy... i love this vibe
Peace. New Orleans, La. (USA) is checking in 🤗. Yo seeing this side of Simz is…😳😍🤭🥵, and the traditional greatness of her west African origins displayed in the video, from a 70’s point of view,…powerful 🙌🏾💎🌍🔥✨.
she really doin her thing. this is rare
Nigeria to the world!! Little simz just keeps on getting better!
This song lives forever rent free in my soul!!! The last frame reminds me of Queen and Slim highkey
Bless you Little Simz for giving us this beautiful song in your Tiny Desk performance and then debuting this video just a few days after. Appreciate it so much as a fan and it’s getting me even more hyped for the album!!!! 💗💗💗
Simz aging like a fine wine, been a fan since Gratitude...havent listened to ya in awhile, but damn did i come back at the perfect time.
best visual ive seen in years
Lil sims…so UNDERRATED!!! Love the fact that she is ALL about the lyrics & concept & not just shaking her backside in next to nothing, great inspiration!
Greatest rapper ever! Simz is what rap is all about!
Strong Touki Bouki vibes, thanks for the salute to Afro-Indie film!
This is just blew my mi mind. What an art piece
She's underappreciated, for now. It is clear, by the exquisite perfection of the final product, that all roads may soon lead to this MC.
Soooo different from a few years ago. Production is up on a whole different level! I LOVED this!!!
Obongjayar is so talented, great style and voice.
I thoroughly enjoyed this, Simz, and yo, what's up with the million views girl? You just exploded!!! I'm soo happy for you❣
Obongjayar just sounds like Pharell to me. But he did great
@@jwilliams6098 not even in the slightest, pharells voice is cleaner than obongjayar's and theres also the accent part, one being from the uk the other from the us
@@jwilliams6098 or nigeria I guess
This song made me realize how much I miss old afrobeat wish our present day artist practiced this style more , the one fela kuti gave us
