Star artiste, Simi, is peaking philosophically as she says she has endured the discomfort of losing herself.
You won’t really understand what that means until you get into the context of her reflection as she speaks on her new album, ‘Lost and Found’.
In a metaphoric outpour on X, she noted on Tuesday: “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.”
On the album she is due to release on July 5, she added, “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.
“LOST AND FOUND, The Album, Out July 5th, 2024”.
