Singer Simi speaks on imposter syndrome

Afrobeats singer Simisola Kosoko has shared her personal struggle with imposter syndrome.

Simi said despite previously having a deep understanding of herself, she experienced a sense of disconnection and loss in recent years, feeling like a stranger to her own identity.

Simi, through the creation of her upcoming album, “Lost and Found”, has embarked on a transformative journey of self-reflection and rediscovery.

The album to be released on July 5th, symbolises her resurgence, as she reconnects with her passion for music, melody, and love stories.

She wrote on X: “For most of my life, I have enjoyed the privilege of knowing myself deeply, unwaveringly, truly. In more recent years, I have also endured the discomfort of losing myself. Sometimes, to make room for something else that I needed to be – other times, because I could not, for the life of me, find my way. I felt like a stranger to myself. This version of me has been the hardest one to look at in the mirror.

“Making this album is a symbol of finding parts of myself again that I hoped I hadn’t lost permanently. I don’t believe that we ever stop finding ourselves. If you’re willing to look, there’s always more. This is a tribute to the things we continue to find and rediscover.

“When I sing, I do it first for me, then for you. In this order, because I can not give what I do not have. “LOST AND FOUND” is about me reclaiming my chemistry with music, melody and love stories. I hope you feel it too when you listen. I hope you enjoy it, regardless of the journey that brought it to you. Experience it, knowing that nobody can bring you, what I can. What I have. What I will. Glory to God.

“LOST AND FOUND, The Album, Out July 5th, 2024”.

Simi’s “Lost and Found” is a testament to the human experience, encouraging listeners to embrace their own journeys of self-discovery and growth.
