Last April, British singer Jorja Smith piqued my curiosity with the release of Try Me, the first taste of her album. From the first listen, the orchestral instrumental as well as the vocal abilities of the woman who became known to the general public alongside Drake in 2017 impressed me and I impatiently awaited the release of falling or flying. With her new album, the singer-songwriter certainly did not disappoint and offered her most personal narrative to date. Across the project’s 16 tracks, Smith reflects on his relationship with fame and his past in recent years. On several occasions, she swaps classic R&B for different styles like house and pop. The rhythmic changes between pieces allow him to shine in different facets, demonstrating his immense talent in the process. We feel that real artistic work has been done by the 26-year-old artist to broaden his horizons and bring his most recent offering to life.
