I remember the first time I heard her song 'Ogaju'. This was in 2010, then I was resident in Ibadan. I was in a taxi going to Ring Road, I was at Mokola roundabout to be precise. She sounded like a bird, her vocals were so light but yet strong enough to command your attention.
Back then she was a gospel artist whose success was mainly in the West. Now she is Afropop artist on the rise. How things change! As a gospel artist her vocals were so powerful and commanding. Now she sounds more cute than powerful. Which I feel comes with the territory catering to the mainstream market and all.
What I feel has stuck and is unchanging is her demeanour. Simi comes of as a easy going, down to earth chick. Like people of God she performed with her natural hair! (or something that looks like her natural hair) on Ndani Sessions.
Ain't gonna lie she looks good in this edit ! |
