The entire album was produced by Simzs childhood friend, Inflo. Using more live instruments in place of samplingguitars, strings, pianos, and drums, mostlythey never settle into one space. No two songs on GREY Area sound the same, even when theyre similar the objectives vary, as she probes into their many grooves. Im JAY-Z on a bad day, Shakespeare on my worst days, she snaps through the scuzzy bass and strings on Offence. Therapy seems to invert that songs template for something more downtempo and cleansing. By the time the album settles into the gorgeous bed of Flowers, which reunites Inflo with singer and guitarist Michael Kiwanuka, Little Simz has already proven herself a master of her universe.
