On this review I will be reviewing the debut album from Jorja Smith which was released 3 days ago on the 8th June 2018. It's the highly acclaimed debut album from Jorja Smith called "Lost & Found".
Jorja Smith is a British singer from Walsall, West Midlands. She has independently released numerous singles and an EP "Project 11" EP back in 2016. She is known for collaborating with other artists such as Drake, Stormzy, and Kali Uchis. She won a Brit Critics Choice Awards at the Brits 2018. Which is an award for new artist of 2018. She was up against Mabel, and Stefflon don. Her vocal style has been compared to Amy Winehouse, and FKA Twigs. Her influences are Lauryn Hill, Alicia Keys, and The Streets. I first discovered Jorja was from Drake playlist album "More Life" where she appeared on the track "Get It Together" which I thought was good track I enjoyed it. I loved her vocals on that track, Drake's flows were awesome on that track, And the beautiful talented Jorja Smith with beautiful vocals. The first track I heard from Jorja was "Blue Lights" this was the track where she uploaded on sound cloud last year. I love how she sampled Dizzee Rascal by singing one of his verse from his third album "Maths & English". The track is called "Sirens". Discussing more about her debut album when I heard that album I loved her vocals on this album it really is beautiful. I thought the album was great she's really talented and cute. I would be delighted if she receives a nomination for a mercury prize which I think she should be nominated. It's a good album.
My favourite tracks on the album starting with "Teenage Fantasy" her beautiful smooth R&B vocals just makes me want to relax and enjoy myself a brilliant track. "February 3rd" another smooth R&B track that I enjoyed. "On Your Own" I loved the production and her vocals on this track it was well produced. "Blue Lights" I loved how she was singing Dizzee Rascal's verse of the track "Sirens". "Lifeboats" I loved the funky vibe on this track which was produced by Tom Misch another great artist of 2018. "Tomorrow" a smooth blending R&B pop track which I thought was a good track. "Don't Watch Me Cry" an R&B ballad which I found very beautiful. My least favourite track was "Wandering Romance" which is an alright track I like it but I prefer the others. But it's still alright.
Overall I thought this was a good album. I really enjoyed Jorja Smith vocals. I love her as an artist she is doing so well this year. I would listen to the album again. I would give the album a 7/10.
