NO THANK YOU

Product Information

The album touches on themes of self-discovery, self-love, and self-worth. Simz also heavily touches on the often overlooked struggles of being an artist in the modern-day music industry, with songs like “Angel” and “X” chronicling the difficulties behind making a name for yourself and maintaining independency as a creator.

Retrieved 18 December 2022.There are umpteen reasons why an artist might choose to suddenly release a new album with little in the way of advance promotion or even warning. In the case of Little Simz, the sudden arrival of No Thank You, less than eight weeks after she won the Mercury prize for its predecessor, Sometimes I Might Be Introvert, seems to mostly involve getting things off her chest. “I figured this is the moment,” she offers on opener Angel, “I got to speak now.”
