Jorja Smith Share New Single 'With You'

Jorja Smith is once again at the forefront of the music scene, releasing her highly anticipated single With You as she builds excitement for her forthcoming album. This latest offering follows her previous danceable track The Way I Love You, continuing her exploration of love and heartache through a sonic landscape that blends contemporary R&B with nostalgic UK club sounds.

In With You, Jorja teams up with renowned producers Maverick Sabre, Ed Thomas, and newcomer Jakwob to create what she describes as “a love song for the summer.” The track is characterized by its layered instrumental textures and a garage-influenced backdrop, which supports Jorja’s smooth, emotive vocals. Lyrically, she reflects on the complexities of love,  recounting feelings of longing and connection, even during periods of separation.

The accompanying music video, directed by Ivor Lawson-Adamah, enhances the song’s theme by juxtaposing vibrant party scenes with intimate moments between Jorja and an enigmatic love interest. The visual storytelling emphasizes both a celebratory atmosphere and a personal connection, aligning perfectly with the song’s romantic undertones.
