And trees, she invented trees x

[@graceplatt9313]

based on her lyricalism, her acting skills and just the way she talks and presents herself in interviews. she is so SO wise and intelligent wayy beyond her years. everything that comes out of her mouth sounds like poetry honestly, she's like a philosopher! & god must have spent his time making her fr fr

[@WiiNV]

W🙌W

[@danielmoody8535]

Agreed

[@crayville8669]

TRAUMA played an important role here

[@Missjunebugfreak]

It's been a delight to see Little Simz evolve in her artistry and confidence. She's becoming one of the greats. I have a feeling SIMBI is gonna be regarded as a classic album in a few years.

[@startswithyouuuu]

I’ve only just found her, she seems cool :)

[@flazay_da]

omg can't believe I never noticed it's her name. Levels

[@drandana3661]

I can't wait to see what she does next

[@freagle1075]

Ohhh thanks for writing it out like that, hadn't realized it spelled Simbi before!

[@calebeedude5331]

Little Simz is really gonna win album AND movie of the year for me

[@poolboyq9752]

Her kaash and Cleo are my favorite female artists. Beyond talented I’m woman. They’re music production and vision is absolutely incredible.

[@calypsojordana3274]

-Movie of the year- Ahah.

[@volkova6209]

@@calypsojordana3274 yeah that's a bit dramatic lol, good film though but MOVIE OF THE YEAR? idkk

[@ubiquity-acreativespace]

I'm really happy to see that this is an actual film and not a compilation of music videos presented as a film. The visuals are stunning!

[@FunnyLittleFrog]

I wouldn't have minded a compilation of inter connected music videos 👀

[@shineymcshine5026]

If simbi wants to work with more african American American film directors, i think she would get along great with Childish gambino or peele

[@TheAlkebulanTrust]

King Simbi aka Little Simz is proving once again she is just on a different level to most. With her skills as an MC and actress as well as adding director to her list of creativity. You just have to appreciate her right now and forever more.

[@chriscuddington5789]

Queen*?

[@ProdbyStun]

she isn't the director

[@AndreiBerezin]

Why King?

[@heyjavonnejay]

@@chriscuddington5789 Listen to her 2015 EP "A Curious Tale of Trials and Persons". Women *can* be kings. 👑

[@TerrahCotter]

Everyone involved was in top form. Forever flowers. Spectacular.

[@clara6360]

I like how comfortable she was with him leaving - that’s real trust - I hope it’s in my future. She’s unbelievably talented - can’t wait to see her live next week!

[@robindunford]

Little Simz is just the kind of person that you want to give the biggest hug. Great artist and person.

[@heyjavonnejay]

This video spoke to me on so many levels. From experiencing synchronicities, the blocked heart chakra, healing my inner child, the push/pull of relationships (karmic), all of it. This was so impactful and healing for me. Thank you so much Simbi 💜 Love from Los Angeles (see you in May).

[@billpfortuna]

gorgeous. felt it too. twins

[@CarolanneIAMTHEQUANTUM]

same. 💜

[@maeahem]

Why do I know friends like Annie who just be unconcerned 😩😭 but still always fun to hang with. Dangerous mess though… Thanks for the music and film Little Simz. Everything from score to lighting to story plot was on point 👌🏾🌿✨ Love the imagery, and all the plant love. Especially the Venus explanation.

[@dragonfromvenus]

watching this felt like entering in her intimacy/personal life but on a whole other level.. we get to have an idea through her lyrics but seeing her acting in this video was something else.. this album is gold, thank you for sharing Little Simz.

[@k-baye6292]

I keep forgetting she's a legitimate actor

[@mochi4926]

The movie was wonderfully done. It did an amazing job encapsulating a moment in time. I was very fond of the usage of sounds to convey emotion. Everything had a particular melody to it. Likewise, the careful execution of all of these elements to look natural was amazing. Overall, it really gives such an awesome extra layer of depth to the album. I legitimately hope that there will be another movie or something more like this in the future.

[@gabriellecarvalho2614]

past 2 years gave better cinematic experiences with music videos and short films than actual feature lengths,, this is amazing Simbi, great work

[@markyrwd9692]

The song is one of the best records I've ever heard. Every line resonated with me and my Dads relationship. Made me wish I had reasoned with my Dad before he passed. Plays on my mind nuff!

[@diiman3]

Honestly I could watch another hour of this film.. I was wishing for more and more. Keep up the good work Miss Simz. We see you. ❤️

[@lisaboateng701]

A true artist. You’re helping me heal with your art

[@KillaV91]

this came up as an advert, first ever advert iv not skipped and it was 25 mins LONG! that speaks volumes! well done to all involved.

[@Jubileein5D]

I didn’t want this to end. I loved every single second of it. Great story telling. Super relatable content! I’m really seeing Little Simz as person beyond the artistry. Amazing job 👏🏽✨🥰

[@far6311]

The fact that she gave us a depiction of a Venus flytrap as a divine feminine energy

[@theflyingfox3686]

Omg this was beautiful, the shots were so lovely and the vintage feel of the rounded corners and crackly filter enhanced this film. The outfits were so cute and the message was so powerful

[@TerrahCotter]

YOU'RE SOMETHING ELSE !!! An ambrosia of endless wonder. OMW!

[@lawrencesunday6656]

Simz with the mind of a philosopher. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@graceplatt9313]

omg literally. this is what makes her stand out in my head as one of the greatest

[@ktleen]

Beautiful shots

[@iLL.CONTNT]

Im preaching to the choir here and its not often i feel like a thought of mine is worth being expressed like this but i discovered Simz for the first time about 20 minutes ago and within the first 30 seconds i was struck with that feeling. ya know the one. i believe Little Simz is one of the better artists i will have come across moving forward. every track is a fuckin bolt of lightning. musically, lyrically, visually, emotionally on another level with a true and honest message. Big vision followed by BIG sound. She's Different. i feel fortunate to be alive and able to witness someone with the ability to make art on this level. anyway, thanks Simz. Powerful. One love ♥

[@imnobody115]

You know what this has a touch of Where the Wild Things Are about it with the score and scenery as well. Masterful.

[@Waldineportelus]

That was absolutely beautiful and incredible, stunning story telling. Thank you Little Simz.

[@karabomatsomane861]

I'm going back to listen to the album again. This film made me appreciate you even more. Thank you Simbi
