Summary

  • Little Simz shares her third single from Lotus, dubbed “Young.”
  • “Young” also arrives with a music video directed by “Gorilla” collaborator Dave Meyers.
  • Lotus drops on June 6.

Despite delaying her sixth studio album Lotus just a tad, Little Simz isn’t going quiet until its release. Originally slated to drop mid-May and now with a new release date in June, Simz has previewed the imminent LP with now a total of three highly diverse singles. After unveiling “Flood” with Obongjayar and Moonchild Sanelly and solo cut “Free,” Simz has now unleashed a punk-pointed new track entitled “Young.”

Landing as the third song on the tracklist, “Young” comes equipped with production from Miles Clinton James.

“I was able to tap into a character. That was fun for me. It’s just a moment of light heartedness,” Simz said of “Young.”
