Addicted

One of the UK’s household names, Jorja Smith reaches new heights on the striking, elegant and deeply affecting single ‘Addicted’. The Walsall native exploded onto the scene with the release of her 2018 debut project, ‘Lost and Found’, demanding the attention of R&B and mainstream audiences alike. Now a relative veteran in the UK music scene, Jorja returns with a focused and profound effort after a period of intermittent releases.  

An artist who has always been known for her exceptional story telling, Jorja has continued to improve her nuanced writing over the past couple of years. There is seamless passion and boundless emotional depth in the narration, as the singer emancipates a familiar tale of inadequacy in the face of passion and love. Her vocal delivery is deft and wistful, soaring through the soundscape with radiance and sensuality. The production is crisp and vibrant - effortless and emotive - leaving the complexity of the cut to the listeners own imagination. 

Jorja’s new single is an honest and authentic look at devotion and infatuation; questioning whether love is always all consuming and if this absorption is a necessity for a relationship to work. Jorja certainly thinks it is. Me personally, I’m not so sure. Although I can say one thing with clarity - I’m addicted to ‘Addicted’.
