Bringing her debut album to life and Simi’s Philosophy of Perfection
Of creative process and perfectionism
Written by The Native - 08.Sep.2017
I have always been pressed about why Simi has taken nearly forever—so to speak—to release a debut album. But as I listen to Simi’s voice note replies a few days after we emailed her questions with my earphones plugged in, she affirms a presumption I’d held for nearly three years: perfectionism.
I first heard Simi as a gospel singer nearly nine years ago with her break out single “Ara Ile”, even then her sultry voice and Afro-R&B fusion was imprinted in my mind. So by default, I was in giddy fan girl spirits when I finally got the chance to talk to her on her upcoming project –a void in an artistry that is understated for everything that it is.
When Simi sings or speaks, you feel as though, she breathes the words and what you hear is merely the air echoing her trapped vowels and high pitches. And yet, despite this clearly innate compelling voice she has been gifted with, the idea of rushing into releasing any long form project was never part of the plan for Simisola Bolatito Ogunleye.

NATIVE Exclusive: The Vulnerable Art & Heart of Simi
masterfully bare across her fourth album 'To Be Honest'
Written by Emmanuel Esomnofu - 07.Jun.2022
Simi has always said her mind. Since earning her first act as a gospel singer 14 years ago, she has since retained her knack for emotional honesty as a pop star.
