Little Simz.
O2 Victoria Warehouse, Manchester. November 2023.
Little Simz (2023).
Me and Anita again. Anita wouldn't be big on rap either, but she really likes Simbi. We stayed at Hotel Football next door and made a couple of nights of it in Manchester.
I've been into Simbi properly since Grey Area. A clever lyricist, for sure.
It was the opening night of the NO THANK YOU tour. She did the first half on her own, played guitar in the second, and went into the crowd taking and signing Polaroids. Gorilla was, of course, the big banger on the night.
Two years later she headlined the O2.
The setlist.
All 20 songs from the night, in the order they played them. Listen: Apple Music · Spotify
Moving Alone isn't on streaming, so it's missing from both.
Setlist from setlist.fm. More from 2023: my songs of the year.
On stage.
