At just 21 years old, Jorja Smith writes universally-adored songs — probably because, as she once humbly put it to MTV, “I’m quite good at just writing for everyone.” In 2016, her self-released “Blue Lights,” a slinky meditation on police brutality, broke big on Soundcloud, and less than a year later, she was waving goodbye to her sleepy hometown of Walsall, England.
A slew of singles followed, including high-profile collaborations with Drake, Stormzy, and Kendrick Lamar, who tapped her for the Black Panther soundtrack cut “I Am.” Since then, she’s taken her place in the roster of R&B artists whose sounds are dominating streaming — Ella Mai, Daniel Caesar, etc. — and her debut album, Lost & Found, arrived last year to pull off a most uncommon feat: delivering on the hype.
