In 2017, Jorja, went on to support mega-star Bruno Mars on the US-leg of his world tour, collaborated with global lyricist Drake ('More Life') and also co-wrote 'I Am' - her solo single on the #1 Black Panther soundtrack - with the man himself, Kendrick Lamar. Kicking-off 2018 as BRITs Critics' Choice winner, she followed with her sensational single "Let Me Down"; a stunning, frank, and honest track which featured an emotion-filled rap from British MC Stormzy. Shortly after, Jorja embarked on her third sold-out US tour, with a debut performance at Coachella plus late night TV debuts on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Jorja graces the September issue of V Magazine, on stands now.
Now, after an incredible debut and 4 sold out tours, Jorja is about to embark on her fifth North American tour in November, playing headline shows across the US and Canada - her biggest tour to date.
PRESS ON LOST & FOUND
""Lost & Found" could make her the breakout star of the year." - VARIETY
"Smith makes the restlessness of young adulthood sound elegant." - PITCHFORK
"An album set to slot seamlessly alongside her heroes (early Amy Winehouse, Lauryn Hill) and peers (SZA, Kali Uchis), Lost & Found balances sparse torch tunes with pop-spiked soul, all made distinct by Jorja's dusky tones that can slickly slide into a higher register." - THE FADER
"The British singer's debut effort is free of guest appearances, and her star shines brightest guiding listeners throughout her 12-track journey of heartbreak." - BILLBOARD
"That gift-Jorja's spellbinding voice-is the anchor that holds the 12-song debut together." - PIGEONS & PLANES
"Over 12 tracks, she demonstrates the range of her voice, speaking fluently in falsettos..." - NOISEY
"There is an innocent naïveté to Jorja Smith's music, a refreshing perspective not usually found in American pop's constant push toward the edge." - THE NEW YORKER
"British singer-songwriter Jorja Smith's voice is a force to be reckoned with." - PAPER MAG
"The brilliance of Smith is easily her tone: the way emotion moves through her voice in waves - knowingly, effortlessly, cool - even at her most vulnerable." - NPR
