Out to establish her dominance in a fiercely competitive space and to an unnamed love interest, Simi dazzles on 'I Dun Care'. Nobody wears the bold, assertive female diva persona better.
Simi became a household name in the late 2010s because of party-themed crossgenerational classics like 'Ayo'. A perfect owambe number, it's a bop for the young and old.
On 'Joromi', Simi is unashamedly a lover girl. This 2017 summer hit inspired by a 1969 Sir Victor Uwaifo classic of the same title remains an evergreen female anthem.

Chart-topping ballad, 'Duduke', is a note of love to her then-unborn child. Not even a global pandemic could dim its instant success with the mainstream audience. The classic hit also resonated with expectant mothers, cementing its evergreen status.
On 'Woman', Simi unpacks the struggles and biased expectations African women face. A timeless ode to the womenfolk, the Afrobeat-inspired anthem pays homage to the late legend Fela Kuti, albeit fearlessly.
