    Lotus is, unequivocally, another triumph for Little Simz. Expansive in scope yet intimate in tone, her sixth album doesn’t put a foot wrong: it’s an instant classic, and one which, arguably, cements her legacy as one of the greatest artists the UK has produced in a generation.

    She distils her pain, venom and eventual acceptance into 13 perfectly executed songs.

    Little Simz has long been one of the most consistently interesting, innovative, and important artists out there - and with the arrival of ‘Lotus’, her legacy as an all-time great has never been more assured.

    Little Simz' identity shines through on this bold, vibrant and genre-busting record. [Jun 2025, p.35]
  5. Here, Simz is stripped to the root, healing in real time. Raw, flawed and deeply human – this is what blooming really sounds like.

    On Lotus, the exceptionally gifted rapper is more vulnerable than ever, yet this only pushes her to be at her most self-empowering.
  7. 80
    Lotus is an absorbing and powerfully honest album.
