PRETTYBIRD Director Salomon Ligthelm Reunites With Little Simz On “Flood” Music Video
PRETTYBIRD filmmaker Salomon Ligthelm reteams with English-Nigerian artist Little Simz on the conceptual and visually rich music video “Flood.”

Ligthelm previously directed Little Simz’s 2021 award-winning music video “Introvert.”
