"Gorilla" comes from NO THANK YOU, the fifth album from English rapper Little Simz, which arrived on 12 December 2022 through the independent Forever Living Originals with less than a week's warning. Inflo, her longtime producer, produced it and shares the writing credit with Simbiatu Ajikawo; Rosie Danvers arranged it, Ben Baptie engineered and mixed, and the Angel Gospel Choir stands behind her on backing vocals.
The album around it is hip-hop shot through with gospel, afrobeat, soul and funk, dressed in orchestral arrangements, with Simz rapping about the music business, her own inner dialogue and spiritual revelation. A ten-minute short film followed four days after release, and the whole record moves with a quiet, unhurried confidence.
