Stillness in Wonderland

Stillness in Wonderland is the second studio album by English rapper Little Simz, released on 16 December 2016 through Age 101 Music.

On 12 December 2016, Little Simz announced the album and released the lead single, "Poison Ivy".

"[8] Christine Clarke of NOW commended the album's lyricism and themes, writing: "It’s clear this is Simz’s version of Lewis Carroll’s Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, only darker and full of imagery springing from the city rather than the English countryside.

praised the album's production, such as the "elephant trunk trumpets and joyfully funky groove" of "Picture Perfect" which "evokes Missy Elliott in her prime", the "hypnotic, techno-ish groove" of "King of Hearts", the "jazzy horns straight out of a vintage noir flick" of "No More Wonderland", the "irresistible [...] radio-smash-ready upbeat synths" of "Shotgun", the "funky, reggae-tinged" "One in Rotation", and the "flamboyantly funky sax sample" of "Doorways + Trust Issues".

The album’s mix of soul, R&B, grime and trippy, jazz-tinged interludes is at times a little muddled, but Simz’s lyrical agility and deft rapping sit comfortably with a variety of production styles.
