Fans of Little Simz will have to wait a little longer to experience her highly anticipated album Lotus as the artist has announced a delay in its release. Originally slated for release on May 9, 2025, the album will now arrive on June 6, 2025. The reason for the postponement? A scheduling conflict with an exciting new movie project.
In a heartfelt post shared on her Instagram, the British rapper and actress explained that her upcoming film commitments were the main reason behind the album's delay. While Lotus was initially set to drop alongside her music tour and promotional plans, a last-minute film shoot had to take precedence. Little Simz made it clear that although the delay was not ideal for either her or her fans, it was a necessary step to ensure she could fulfil her role in the movie without compromising on either project.
“Not ideal for me or you I know, trust me I’ve tried many ways around it but just means I can’t do the film otherwise,” she wrote, expressing her frustration at the situation. She continued, “If there was ever a time I ask for your grace and patience it is now.” The message struck a chord with her followers, many of whom expressed understanding and support, eager to see both her new album and her work on the big screen.
Known for her unapologetically bold sound and intricate lyricism, Little Simz's Lotus was one of the most anticipated albums of the year. The artist has already made waves with her previous albums, including Grey Area and Sometimes I Might Be Introvert, both of which received critical acclaim for their sharp introspection and socially conscious themes. Lotus is expected to continue in that vein, tackling personal growth, societal issues, and the complexities of fame with her unique, genre-blending style.
While fans will have to wait a little longer for Lotus, the delay has also sparked curiosity about the new film project Simz is working on. Little Simz has always been known for her multifaceted talents, and the prospect of her making a name for herself in film has only added to her growing reputation as a creative force.
In the meantime, Simz’s fans are eager to see how the album and her new film projects will complement one another, as the artist continues to break boundaries in both music and film. With her determination, resilience, and relentless creativity, it’s clear that Little Simz is set for even greater success, and the Lotus album will undoubtedly be worth the wait.
The new album will be released through AWAL Recordings, and fans can expect it to bring a fresh, bold perspective to her already impressive discography. Stay tuned for more updates, and be ready for Lotus to drop this June.
