British singer Jorja Smith has announced her new album, What Are the Odds, set to arrive on August 21 via FAMM.
What Are the Odds serves as Smith's third studio album and contains 12 tracks. She also shared the lead single, "Alive," featuring Wizkid. Smith reunites with producer P2J, who served as a primary collaborator on her 2023 album Falling or Flying, for the project.
"This album came together really naturally. There was never a big plan; it was just me making music that felt right in the moment," Smith tells Billboard. "Working with P2J, we started experimenting with different sounds, pulling from U.K. garage, grime and house (funky house, Afro house) and it all grew from there."
She continues, "The music feels uplifting, but the lyrics can be a bit sad at times. They're about growing up, love, loss, friendships and figuring things out as I go. I trusted my instincts with this one, and I think you can hear that throughout the record."
