While Simi has never been described as an old soul, the rustic charm of her music often evokes the feel of vintage afropop. This is made more evident by her sampling of Commander Ebenezer Obey’s classic song, “Aimasiko”, for her hit of the same title off her debut album.

On her new single, “Selense”, she continues blazing this trail, echoing the central ideal of Mike Okri’s “Time Na Money” for a feel-good bop with a life lesson.

Inserting characters who continually procrastinate as resonant examples, Simi urges listeners to make hay while the sun shines. “Time no go pause, e no go stop”, she posits on the closing bridge against a groovy beat by Vtek.
