JORJA SMITH RELEASES THIRD ALBUM ‘WHAT ARE THE ODDS’
+ CO-HEADLINES ALL POINTS EAST FESTIVAL ALONGSIDE TEMS TODAY
+ ANNOUNCES 2027 HEADLINE TOUR INCLUDING THE O2, LONDON
Jorja Smith releases her third album, ‘What Are The Odds’, via FAMM, announces a major 2027 headline tour including The O2, London, and prepares to co-headline All Points East alongside Tems later today.
Rooted in dance music, ‘What Are The Odds’ brings together UK Garage, Grime, 2-Step, UK Funky, Soulful House and Afro House. Euphoric and propulsive without losing the intimacy of Jorja’s writing, it explores friendship, grief, betrayal, loneliness, love and self-discovery.
“This is music to make you move,” says Jorja. “This is a record for driving and vibing.” Already awarded four stars by both NME and Rolling Stone UK, ‘What Are The Odds’ captures Jorja at her most confident and creatively free. It began with a loose conversation with longtime collaborator P2J following ‘Little Things’, before the majority of the record took shape across just three instinctive, pressure-free studio sessions.
Across its twelve tracks, Jorja pairs that physical energy with some of her most personal writing. ‘For Life’ considers loving a friend through addiction, ‘Pretend’ confronts betrayal and the title track reflects on growing up in public. ‘This City’ features grime legend Devlin’s classic verse from ‘London City’ which he re-recorded for the album, while ‘Alive’ brings Jorja together with Wizkid. The album also includes ‘What’s Done Is Done’ and ‘I Lied, You Lied’.
Created independently through FAMM, ‘What Are The Odds’ is the sound of Jorja trusting her instincts and reconnecting with the joy of making music. It celebrates the artists, sounds and communities that have shaped her while placing them firmly within the present and future.
In addition to the album release, today Jorja also co-headlines All Points East alongside Tems. Curated by Jorja and FAMM in collaboration with the festival, the wider line-up includes Nia Archives, kwn, Ayra Starr, Odeal, Uncle Waffles, DJ EZ, Maverick Sabre and Katy B, alongside a special performance from Elmiene and The Sunday Service Choir. The release-day show brings the album’s celebration of people, movement and sound directly into a live setting.
Alongside today’s album release, Jorja announces a major run of headline shows across Europe, the UK and Australia for 2027. The tour begins at Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome on 26 May before travelling to Paris, Brussels, Cologne, Berlin, Copenhagen, Stockholm and Oslo. Jorja will then headline The O2, London, on Saturday 17 July, before taking the tour to Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne in November.
Fans who buy ‘What Are The Odds’ now will receive early access to tickets for the confirmed 2027 dates.
Arriving ten years after ‘Blue Lights’, ‘What Are The Odds’ places the independence, instinct and emotional honesty that have always defined Jorja within a bold new frame.
