The video, shot by Salomon Ligthelm within the Natural History Museum in London, features striking imagery alongside lyrics focusing on the rapper’s experience as a Black British woman.

These same themes are a central point of her new album ‘Sometimes I Might Be introvert’, which follows her Mercury-nominated ‘GREY Area’, released in 2019, when Little Simz was selected as one of our eights acts who defined the year. The album seeks to explore the emotions that come with her Black British identity in a personal and challenging way.
