Little Simz Releases Sugar Girl EP, Featuring JT, 070 Shake, and Deela

Little Simz released Sugar Girl, a four-track EP out now. The project comes less than a year after Drop 7 and continues her habit of issuing shorter, sharper statements between full-length albums. Where Drop 7 toyed with skeletal beats, Sugar Girl pushes further into club textures. Producer Jakwob, who worked on Simz’s earlier material, gives the tracks a looser, more direct feel that doesn’t chase introspection but instead locks into rhythm.

The track “GAME ON” first surfaced during Simz’s Coachella set earlier this month, when JT joined her onstage for a surprise appearance. On record, the collaboration pairs Simz’s precise delivery with JT’s energy. 070 Shake and Deela appear on other tracks, each bringing a contrasting vocal tone that shapes the EP’s range without dragging it away from its pulse.

Beyond the music, Simz used the EP’s social media rollout to spotlight female creatives in other fields. Jeweller Maya (HADAK), woodworker Sophie Sellu, sculptor Dulcie Davy, and designer Olive Hooper contributed to the visual and conceptual framing. It’s a curatorial gesture that extends the EP’s collaborative spirit without turning it into a campaign.

Sugar Girl arrives as Simz keeps moving fluidly between the introspection of her Mercury Prize-winning Sometimes I Might Be Introvert and these leaner, club-focused projects. The EP doesn’t carry the weight of a major statement. It’s a deliberate pivot, tightly executed.
