Little Simz has announced a brand-new EP, ‘Sugar Girl’, set for release next week. Check out the teasers below.
The North London rapper will drop the project on Friday May 8, following on from her acclaimed 2025 album, ‘Lotus’. You can pre-save/pre-add it here.
A black-and-white preview video for the forthcoming project shows Simz deliver lines of a booming, electronic instrumental. She is yet to share a tracklist for ‘Sugar Girl’.
The news comes after the artist played a new song, ‘Game On’, at Coachella 2026 earlier this month (via Setlist.FM), and posted a clip of the track online last week (listen below).
She had previously appeared to hint at her next project by delivering a mid-gig DJ set at her recent dates, including her performance at London’s O2 last October.
Her concerts in the capital and in Manchester in late 2025 marked Simz’ biggest-ever UK headline live dates.
Last month, Simz was earned her fifth Ivor Novello nomination for her single ‘Free’ in the Best Contemporary Song category. She also received nods at both this year’s BRITs and MOBOs.
In a four-star review of Simz’ latest album, NME wrote: “‘Lotus’ isn’t always an easy listen, and sometimes the truths in its bars feel more like diary entries than rap lyrics, but maybe that’s its purpose.
“Across 13 tracks, Simz sifts through grief, pressure, burnout and spiritual reckoning with a vulnerability that is admirable, making it among her most important works emotionally rather than sonically,” it added.
“Here, Simz is stripped to the root, healing in real time. Raw, flawed and deeply human – this is what blooming really sounds like.”
Next month will see Simz headline Cross The Tracks 2026 in London before making appearances at Bristol’s Forwards Festival, Barcelona’s Primavera Sound and Chicago’s Lollapalooza, among other events. She’ll open for Gorillaz on their North American ‘The Mountain’ tour, too.
