Continuing with Simi and LADIPOE’s “Know You” from four years ago, the duo put together a better sequel titled “Know You II”. The artiste couples with Bella Shurmda on “Alafia” rendering a beautiful chorus in the unique Simi way. The list will be incomplete without the single featuring Asa, “Messiah” which speaks to the soul. Coming after is “All I Want”, the love anthem for the summer. “One of One” and “Romance Therapy” roll in with soft heart-tugging rhythm. The tenth song on the album, “Borrow Me Your Baby” highlighting want and passion, features the rapper Falz hopping on it with his striking rap lines. “Men Are Crazy” sang along with Tiwa Savage was released a few months ago, stirring different reactions amongst the listeners. The album morphs into a more solemn song about love, “RnB Luv” and a piece of spirited music “Woman To Woman”, filled with personal, motivating and significant messages to all women.
