With her 11-track album “To Be Honest (TBH The Album),” Nigerian artist Simi makes a remarkable comeback.
Her spouse, Adekunle Gold, is featured on the album, which also has Deja and Fave as guests.
Simi’s fourth studio album, “To Be Honest,” follows her 2019 release “Omo Charlie Champagne, Vol. 1.”
Simi talked to Cool FM back in May on balancing motherhood and her career.
She said, “I think it is all about prioritizing and committing to your priorities. The more important things you have in your life, the less time to dedicate to all these things. What is even important is understanding this is hard before you even go into it so that it doesn’t overwhelm you so much.”
“I love my family, I love my daughter, I love my husband, and I love music so much, so it’s just finding that balance and committing to it.”
“Because I just saw my future, so I was trying to get ahead of the whole thing because I know it is going to be hard like being responsible for another human’s life, and you know, it is not something I just want to delegate to someone else while I do other things. I’m a very hands-on mum; it was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do, but it was necessary, so I had to do it.”
Many Nigerians have taken to Twitter to applaud the new album.
