British singer Jorja Smith has released ‘falling or flying (reimagined)’. The project - recorded with her long-time band in London - is a collection of re-worked, stripped back tracks taken from her critically acclaimed 2023 album ‘falling or flying’. ​

​The existing ‘falling or flying’ album is a sonically vast record – sometimes sleek and shiny R&B, elsewhere intense and raw alternative – but above all, it is a record which found Jorja stepping into a new chapter; acknowledging the ever-whirring cogs of her brain but also moving through it, in turn growing and learning to love and respect herself. After its release in September 2023, the album quickly became one of the most critically acclaimed records of that year, subsequently earning Jorja a BRIT Nomination within the ‘Best R&B’ category at the 2024 ceremony. 

Of the many British voices in music today, Jorja is among the most commanding, writing at a pitch of intensity and urgency that few can match. Over the past six years, since the release of her critically acclaimed debut album ‘Lost & Found’, she 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 life. It was in 2021 that Jorja’s hiatus from music was broken - enter ‘Be Right Back’, the holding space between the sensation that was ‘Lost & Found’, and her next project. 

On ‘falling or flying (reimagined) ’, Jorja Smith is reminding herself (and us), that whether things are up or down, she’s very much in control. In fact, as she grows and holds herself, she’s fully thriving.
