Simi warms the hearts of her fast growing fan base with two brand new singles from her upcoming album "Sophomore".
‘E No Go Funny’ and ‘Tiff’.Trust when we say you’ll be stunned with her latest offering…‘E No Go Funny’ is a contemporary Pop club joint, infused with local drums and congas.
It’s pacey and will give you the sugar rush you've been looking for. ‘Tiff’ on the other hand is a soothing mid-tempo number.
It will definitely leave you soul searching for a couple of minutes. Simi on both songs constantly displays vocal prowess, giving that perfect blend of Pop and Soul music while staying close to her African roots.
