Nigerians React As Simi Opens Up About Imposter Syndrome And Self-Rediscovery Through New Album ‘Lost And Found’ (Details)

Nigerian singer Simisola Kosoko, popularly known as Simi, has shared her struggles with imposter syndrome and the journey to rediscovering herself.

Simi, a mother of one, revealed that while she had always enjoyed a deep self-awareness, recent years brought the discomfort of feeling lost and disconnected from herself.

In a heartfelt post on her X handle on Tuesday, Simi wrote: “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.”

Simi added that her upcoming album, ‘Lost And Found,’ helped her reclaim her “chemistry with music, melody, and love stories.”
