Be Right Back 128221 Vinyl EP

Jorja Smith returns to announce a new 8-track project. Be Right Back is due May 14th and is the first body of work from Jorja since her 2019 critically-acclaimed, Mercury Prize nominated debut album Lost & Found, for which she won her second BRIT Award for Best Female and earned herself a nomination for New Artist at the GRAMMY Awards. The project finds Jorja delivering some of the most emotive and imaginative songs of her career. Over string-heavy production, she unveils a collection of songs that are diverse in their range but still extremely cohesive as a body of work – Its called be right back because its just something I want my fans to have right now, this isnt an album and these songs wouldnt have made it. If I needed to make these songs, then someone needs to hear them too. – Jorja says of the project. To coincide with the announcement, Jorja is sharing new single Gone. Highly anticipated, Smith states that Theres something about being able to write about one thing and for it to mean so many different things to others. I love that this song, well any of my songs really, will be interpreted in different ways, depending on the experiences of the people listening. This one is just me asking why people have to be taken from us. Gone follows in the footsteps of Jorjas stunning March release Addicted, which also appears on Be Right Back, alongside 6 additional unheard tracks including a feature from rising South London rapper, Shaybo on track 3, Bussdown. Over the past three years, Smith has been celebrated unanimously across the world for her evocative song-writing, powerful delivery, pure emotion and unbridled talent as a young woman navigating her way through the world. Smith has graced multiple magazine covers, performed at awards ceremonies and on late night TV, and sold out shows across the globe, now surpassing over one billion global streams. Her 2019 hit single Be Honest featuring Burna Boy has become her biggest song to date at almost 250M streams worldwide. Smith continues to hone her craft and Gone serves as a much-anticipated prelude for the release of Be Right Back on May 14th.
