Very few modern hip-hop artists can consistently deliver top-notch albums at the rate Little Simz has been going for nearly a decade, and her upcoming album, Lotus, out via AWAL Recordings, is expected to continue that trend based on her latest single, “Free.” With a soulful refrain that encapsulates the celebration of love at the center of “Free,” Simz breaks down the importance of love in a stream-of-consciousness flow that once again solidifies her as among the best lyricists out right now.

Unsurprisingly, Simz’s taste for alternative hip-hop beats is on display with “Free,” where strings float throughout the musings on how to set yourself free. However, the wordsmithing from Simz remains the focus, addressing love and fear as though they are people with whom she has a long history. In the track’s last leg, every aspect speeds up, keeping the listener on the edge as Simz turns her sights to everyone in the world who isn’t free. What started as a testament to self-love becomes a selfless look at the current state, making for another win for the emcee.
