HERITAGE: A Young Little Simz Shows Her Natural Instinct For Melody In This Early Video (2012)


October 20, 2022

Little Simz is finally getting the silverware and acclaim she deserves, but it's been a very, very long time coming. Because of an odd technicality that meant she was only eligible for a BRIT once her work charted, she was awarded Best Newcomer at this year's awards. For those in the know, of course, she's been celebrated as a true great for years now.

To put all that in perspective, she released her debut mixtape over a decade ago and her journey started even earlier than that. We've already shown you the video of her and Avelino rapping outside The Camden Roundhouse, but this video from a decade ago is proof that there's always been more to her artistry than barring. As it turns out, she's also a gifted pianist with a natural instinct for melody.

Whatever the next album brings—and let's not think too far into the future, SIMBI still has plenty to keep it in rotation for a good while yet—if she were to release a stripped-back album of her at the piano, we'd be absolutely fine with that.
