Tickets for Jorja Smith’s SWX show can be purchased HERE.

 

 

A Walsall native, Jorja Smith is a singer-songwriter with a unique ability to create heartfelt and streetwise R&B, reminiscent of legendary artists including Rihanna and Amy Winehouse, the latter of whom the 25-year-old cites as her biggest influence.

 

Smith rose to prominence in the late 2010s with her bewitching blend of reggae, soul, R&B and hip-hop inspiring a dedicated fanbase. Early smash hit singles ‘Blue Lights’ (2016), ‘On My Mind’ (2017) and ‘Let Me Down’ (2018) firmly established the singer as one of the leading lights in UK music.

 

This status continues to this day with multiple Brit Awards nominations and a Grammy nomination as well as work on the soundtrack of Black Panther and collaborations with fellow luminaries Stormzy, Drake and Kendrick Lamar.

 

Now, Jorja Smith is officially back with recent new singles ‘Try Me’ and ‘Little Things’ and, yesterday, the announcement of her brand-new album falling or flying, set for release on Friday 29 September. Through the record, Smith has effortlessly condensed her influences to create a grand, soulful and emotional piece that reflects the singer’s current era.

 

To celebrate the release of falling or flying, Jorja Smith will play four special release shows across September and October with visits to SWX in Bristol, Level in Nottingham, Outernet in London, and Pryzm in Kingston.

Jorja Smith’s Rough Trade out-store show will take place at SWX, Bristol on Monday 9 October 2023. Tickets are on sale now so secure yours quickly HERE.
