As a sequel to her first album, which received critical acclaim, Simi released “Simisola (Deluxe)” in 2018 on X3M Music, expanding her original masterpiece to 16 songs. The deluxe version keeps the soul and storytelling aspect of “Simisola” (2017) but adds a fresh depth and replay value through bonus materials and reinterpretations.
Simi stays true to her Afro-soul, R&B, and highlife mesh, delivering messages of love, brokenness, and spirituality with the same warmth and candor. Songs like ‘Joromi’, ‘Smile For Me’, ‘Gone For Good’, and ‘Aimasiko’ remain central to the album with the bonus tracks – a recut mix of ‘Original Baby’ featuring 2Baba among them, bringing new energy and appeal to the project.
Simi is simply a stellar vocalist and songwriter. Her crisp production, handled mostly by Oscar Heman-Ackah, is so fun and original. “Simisola (Deluxe)” is definitely a defining era in Simi’s artistic skills.
