“For most of my life, I have enjoyed the privilege of knowing myself deeply, unwaveringly, truly,” Simi said on her X handle on Tuesday. I have also experienced the discomfort of losing myself in more recent years. Sometimes I did this to make place for something else I needed to be, and other times it was because I was desperately trying to figure out where I was going. I had an odd feeling about myself. It has been the toughest for me to look in the mirror as this version of myself.
“Releasing this album is a representation of rediscovering aspects of myself that I believed I hadn’t lost forever. I think we are always discovering who we are. Look around; there’s always more to find. This is an homage to the things we still discover and unearth.
The record is about her rediscovering her “chemistry with music, melody, and love stories,” she continued.
