On this 11-song album titled “TBH (To Be Honest),” Simi starts strong with “Story Story,” a reflective look back at her humble roots in Ojuelegba and her rise as an artist, then moves into the inspirational “Born Again” and the tender “Naked Wire.” She features Fave on “Loyal,” a song about honesty and loyalty in relationships, and her husband Adekunle Gold on “Balance,” where they tackle the balance between ambition and love.
“Logba Logba” brings party flavours infused with highlife, “Easy” (with her daughter Deja) is a plea to slow the pace of the hustle of life, with “No Joy” she retaliates against negativity and haters, “Temper” is her fierce proclamation of self-worth, and “Nobody” asserts long-distance romantic commitment.
The closing track, “Love For Me,” becomes spiritual, giving thanks for grace and mercy. The sound palette blends Afro-pop, R&B, dancehall, and highlife with gentle vocal delivery typical of her. The tone on the whole is honest, introspective, and mature: Simi speaking frankly and multi-linguistically on career, love, motherhood, and religion.
