Simi’s ‘Lost and Found’ Album Stuns Fans and Critics

Nigerian singer and songwriter Simisola Kosoko, popularly known as Simi, has released her much-anticipated album titled ‘Lost and Found’. The 14-track project was released in the early hours of July 5, 2024, and has received widespread acclaim from fans and critics.

The album features collaborations with a stellar lineup of artists, including Asa, Ladipoe, Lojay, Bella Shmurda, Falz, and Tiwa Savage. One of the standout features is the inclusion of legendary musician Ebenezer Obey, marking a significant milestone in Simi’s career.

Fans have taken to social media to express their admiration for the album, with many praising its quality and encouraging others to listen. @onlyAdejoke tweeted, “I love all the love Simi is getting on Lost And Found Album. She worked so hard on that album and that can only be the kind of energy she needs. Don’t stop streaming!!!!! Tell a friend to tell a friend.”

Big Ups to God for continuing to make my dreams come true 🩵🩵🩵.”

While the album has received overwhelming praise, some critics, like Daniel Regha, have noted that while the album is good, it does not offer anything particularly new or innovative compared to her previous works.

‘Lost and Found’ marks Simi’s fifth studio album, following ‘To Be Honest’ (2022), ‘Omo Charlie Champagne’ (2019), ‘Simisola’ (2017), the collaborative project ‘Chemistry’ with Falz (2017), and her debut album ‘Ojaju’ from way back in 2008. The album showcases Simi’s skills as a songwriter, producer, and mix engineer, and is a testament to her artistic evolution and personal growth.

As fans continue to stream and enjoy the album, it is clear that ‘Lost and Found’ is a significant milestone in Simi’s career and a testament to her talent and dedication to her craft.
