After a two year hiatus, Jorja Smith is returning with a new eight-song project called Be Right Back. It is the follow-up to her 2019 debut album Lost & Found, and will be released May 14. She has also shared a new single from her project titled "Gone."
Although the project "isn't an album" according to Smith, it features the previously released single “Addicted" and includes a guest appearance from U.K. rapper Shaybo.
“It’s called Be Right Back because it’s just something I want my fans to have right now, this isn’t an album and these songs wouldn’t have made it,” Smith said in a press release. “If I needed to make these songs, then someone needs to hear them too.”
In regards to her new single "Gone," Smith said, "There’s something about being able to write about one thing and for it to mean so many different things to others. I love that this song, well any of my songs really, will be interpreted in different ways, depending on the experiences of the people listening. This one is just me asking why people have to be taken from us."
Besides her latest project, Jorja Smith recently appeared alongside Brent Faiyaz on Sonder’s “Nobody But You.” Last year, she collaborated with Jamaican artist Popcaan on her song “Come Over.”
