“Need You” was made in collaboration with Nigerian producer and artist Tbabz and is Shimon’s first international collaboration.
From the moment you hear the flute-like intro, you’re transported to a different dimension full of reflection on God’s grace and love as well as our continuous need for him.
It is Shimon’s heartfelt cry to God that he “needs” God when he begins to feel like the troubles of the world are closing in and he can’t breathe; when he begins to feel like he wants to give up. He is asking God to come through as he needs God more than anything else.
“No Matter”, Shimon’s most recent release was played on BBC Introducing West Midlands and Premier Gospel Radio on 28.03.20.
