“Jorja Smith is too good to be true… one of those artists who has practically not missed a shot.” – Rolling Stone (IT)

“…when she flies she soars, and when she falls it’s into the arms of a god-given talent which will see her go down as one of the greats” STACK

Grammy-nominated, Platinum-selling UK sensation Jorja Smith has today returned with her gorgeous new single, “High”; a slick, house-tinged offering, produced by her long-term collaborators DAMEDAME*. The single follows the announcement of the singer’s forthcoming Australian tour across Melbourne, Adelaide and Sydney this October.

On today’s single, Jorja says: “High is a song I wrote about finding a friend within myself, even through the lows, you have to find the highs.”

“High” also arrives alongside a visualiser which showcases a compilation of candid footage from Jorja and fan submissions. Aggregated back in March via a call out on social media, the footage spotlights people partying and celebrating; generally high on life. Directed by Jorja alongside Ivor Lawson-Adamah, watch the video here.

Jorja touches down in Melbourne on Tuesday 8 October for an all ages performance at Margaret Court Arena, before heading to Adelaide’s Hindley Street Music Hall on Tuesday 10 October. The following week on Tuesday 15 October, Jorja takes over Sydney’s ICC Sydney Theatre in the heart of Darling Harbour for an unmissable performance as part of SXSW Sydney® 2024. SXSW Sydney badgeholders can gain access to Jorja Smith’s Sydney performance by registering here.

The new single marks the first piece of original music from Jorja since the release of her highly anticipated second album, falling or flying, which arrived late last year. A sonically vast record – sometimes sleek and shiny R&B, elsewhere intense and raw alternative – but above all, 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.

Since its release, Jorja has toured falling or flying across the US, UK and Europe, and is next set to dazzle crowds at Reading & Leeds Festival, Pukkelpop Festival and Superbloom Festival before making her way down under for her first local shows since 2019. The album was universally praised, garnering love from Rolling Stone (UK, US), NY Times, DIY Mag, Elle (FR), Vogue (AU, FR), triple j, Harper’s Bazaar (AU) and NYLON to name a few, plus saw Jorja take over highly coveted performance spots on The Tonight Show with Jimmy FallonLater… with Jools Holland and the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge.

Of the many British voices in music today, Jorja Smith is among the most commanding, writing at a pitch of intensity and urgency that few can match. Creating music since age 11, she first stepped into the limelight with features on Drake’s More Life (2017) and Kendrick Lamar’s Black Panther soundtrack (2018). Her debut album Lost & Found was released in 2018 to critical acclaim, awarding her two Brit Awards for Critic’s Choice (2018) and Best British Female Solo Artist (2019), a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist (2019), a Mercury Prize nomination for Album of the Year and peaking at #3 on the UK Album Charts. Her hits like “Be Honest” featuring Burna Boy and the Platinum-selling viral sensation “Little Things” underscore her undeniable impact in the global music scene.

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.
