Jorja Smith's Exciting Album Announcement
There's a palpable buzz in the air with the announcement that Jorja Smith is gearing up to release her third studio album, titled ‘What Are The Odds’, on August 21, 2026. This date is particularly significant as it coincides with her highly anticipated co-headlining performance at All Points East, an event shared with fellow artist Tems. It's a strategic move, placing Smith in front of her fans right as she delivers new music, which could amplify her presence at the festival. What’s striking about this upcoming album is its ambitious twelve-track lineup. Among the tracks is the previously released single, ‘What’s Done Is Done’, and an exciting new song titled ‘Alive’, which features the global sensation Wizkid. The combination of Smith’s soulful voice and Wizkid's unique style promises a track worth listening to. Smith recorded this album alongside her longtime collaborator, P2J, in London, which has become a hallmark of her artistic process.
