Jorja Smith

With an incredibly powerful voice, visceral and poignant lyricism, and unbridled authenticity, Jorja Smith is always speaking her mind. Whether she’s wounded by heartbreak or tackling social issues, Smith’s voice is always fully and freely embodying the authentic emotions in each track. The vulnerability of her lyricism, juxtaposed with a boundless and assured confidence makes every listen a phenomenal one. We’re calling it now: Jorja Smith will be an absolute icon - in fact, she might be one already.

This week, we’re featuring her track “Bussdown” featuring South-London rapper Shaybo from Smith’s 2021 album Be Right Back. With an energized beat and clear reggae influence, “Bussdown” is a perfect example of the vulnerability and strength that makes Smith’s music so powerful, all the while maintaining the sharp, witty lyricism we’ve come to know and admire from both artists.
