Little Simz's COLORS Session is Perfectly Blue

She performs "Backseat" with signature grace and skill.

COLORS Berlin have an uncanny knack of making the very simple very effective indeed. Their latest feat is a filmed Little Simz performance, which sees the London rapper giving a rendition of her single "Backseat". Released back in May, it's the first single since her album Stillness in Wonderland dropped late last year.

The colour chosen for the occasion (somehow they always seem to get it exactly right?) is a pale, almost grey, blue, which matches the mood of the reflective "Backseat," a track on which she candidly explores her state of mind through lyrics that betray the sort of loneliness you experience being a musician on her level. It's a skilful, graceful performance of the sort that only Simz can pull off, with her magnetism and rhymes that keep you hanging on for the next line.

Watch above and let Little Simz's dexterity take your breath away, because it's a very special thing indeed.
