Nigerian sensational singer, Simisola Kosoko, popularly known as Simi, has opened up about her struggles with imposter syndrome.
Taking to her X page on Tuesday, the mother of one said she
had always enjoyed the privilege of knowing herself “deeply,” but in recent
years, she had endured the “discomfort of losing” herself.
According to her, she felt like a stranger to herself,
adding that making her upcoming album ‘Lost And Found’ helped her rediscover
herself.
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.”
She added that the album is about her reclaiming her
“chemistry with music, melody and love stories.”
