Little Simz's show defies description and leaves your face hurt from smiling at her genius.
"Getting down to 12 albums this year was not easy, simply because there were so many remarkable ones to choose from. That serves as proof that British & Irish music thrives during unsettled periods in history, with the albums chosen covering everything from imaginative pop to pioneering rap to Cornish language folk-rock."
Little Simz aka Simbiatu Ajikawo talks to Cyclone about being more personal than ever on her third, breakout album, 'GREY Area'.
'The Music' team on the albums you need to hear from 2019.
Just take our money...
"The whole album is relentlessly deft and punches harder than a prizefighter fending off personal demons."
"The Sydney folk are lapping up what Simz is putting down."
"It's not to say that I'm not into grime or anything like that..."
"It's in the stillness that her intentions are most clearly heard."
The rapper has announced four January shows.
