The album is said to be a blend of R&B, highlife, and hip hop, showcasing Simi’s versatility as an artist. During her interview, Simi made it clear that one sound missing from the album would be South Africa’s amapiano, a popular genre in the region. Despite enjoying the groovy nature of amapiano, Simi mentioned that it is not a sound she personally resonates with in terms of creating music.

In recent years, Simi has collaborated with various artists, including successful tracks like “Know You” with Ladipoe and “Wale” with Candy Bleakz. Not to forget the hit song “Look What You Made Me Do” released last year with her husband. Speaking about her collaborations, Simi expressed her joy in working with her husband, praising his talent and their chemistry in creating music together. She highlighted their latest song as a classic duet, particularly emphasizing the excitement of working on the bridge.

As fans eagerly anticipate the release of Simi’s new album, the artist continues to captivate audiences with her soulful vocals and unique sound. Her ability to seamlessly blend different genres and create engaging music has set her apart in the industry. With “All I Want” setting the tone for what’s to come, listeners can expect a diverse and engaging collection of songs in her upcoming project.

In conclusion, Simi’s dedication to her craft and her passion for creating music shine through in every track she releases. With her latest single “All I Want” garnering attention and setting the stage for her upcoming album, the artist continues to solidify her place as a powerhouse in the Nigerian music scene. As she explores new sounds and collaborations, fans can look forward to experiencing more of Simi’s musical magic in the near future.
