In 'Lotus', Little Simz transforms personal turmoil into artistic expression after suing her former producer Inflo over a significant unpaid loan. This emotional upheaval results in a creative rebirth for the Mercury Prize winner, replacing past collaborators with new producer Miles Clinton James. The album delves into her internal struggles and the disintegration of close relationships, showcasing her growth and renewed focus. Songs like "Thief" highlight her biting commentary on her personal connections and the music industry, capturing the essence of her experiences with authenticity and intensity.
"With new producer Miles Clinton James at the helm of Lotus, she puts her interpersonal issues on display with a (sometimes) deft touch; it's a thorough excavation of the graveyard of one's ego and closest relationships."
"Simz lost one of her oldest friends and her closest creative collaborator; Inflo had produced each of her three albums since 2019's."
