Joromi

In August 2017, Simi served us with this amazing song. It is the 2nd track off her Simisola body of work.

Personally, this is one of my favorite tracks from the singer since her debut. Enjoy!

Jericho ft. Patoranking

Here, the songstress features dancehall legend, Patoranking. This record is a blend of RnB with Dancehall, produced by Vtek. Fans loved this collaboration most especially because it’s a dancehall track.

Likewise, Simi was able to try out a new genre and she blended perfectly well.

Aimasiko

This is another hit song, from her second studio album, dubbed “Simisola”. As a matter of fact, the song is a cover of veteran Nigerian Juju singer, Ebenezer Obey‘s Aimasiko track.

Love Don’t Care

Simi shows us a deeper meaning of the word love – it cares for the next person irrespective of status, religion, or ethnicity.

This is a 2016 track and so far one of the most amazing! The single was produced by Oscar with additional production (guitar) by Fiokee, mixed and mastered by Simi herself.

Ayo

This is her first solo single for 2019 after the release of “Promise” with Adekunle Gold.

In the light of enjoying her honeymoon with her husband Adekunle, she released this song.

“Ayo” means (Joy) and it was produced by Legendury Beatz. Listen and Enjoy!

By you ft. Adekunle Gold

Today marks the 2 year anniversary the singer released this track featuring her husband, Adekunle Gold.

Gone for Good

Moving on is never the easiest thing. It’s a grudgingly long process that demands to be taken seriously (talk about vindictive). Simisola moves to this point with her video for “Gone for Good”, directed by Joziewood.

Also, this is another track of her 2017 studio project!

The Artist

Just like every other song, the singer drops this masterpiece explaining the situations artistes go through.
