Jorja Smith announces new album What Are The Odds

Jorja Smith will release her new album What Are The Odds, on August 21, 2026 via FAMM. Ahead of thr LP’s release, the artist has shared “Alive” featuring Wizkid alongside its official video. Produced by longtime collaborator P2J. The LP WAS Written and recorded together in London. The album will arrive on the day of Jorja’s co-headline performance at All Points East in Victoria Park, London, UK alongside Tems on August 21.

The video for the track was directed by by Gabriel Trautmann and shot in Paris, and unfolds across one sweltering summer night in the city. Surrounded by a group of girlfriends, Jorja drifts through streets, hotel rooms and late-night house parties as Paris comes alive around her. Only as the night draws to a close does she finally reunite with Wizkid, with the pair sharing the song together from a balcony overlooking the city. Gabriel Trautmann says: “I wanted ‘Alive’ to feel like one unforgettable summer night. Paris becomes almost another character in the film – full of warmth, movement and possibility. At its heart, it’s a celebration of friendship, connection and the feeling of being completely present in a moment you never want to end.”

The genesis of What Are The Odds was almost accidental. After connecting with P2J on “Little Things”, the pair talked loosely about making a dance project. When Jorja arrived at P2J’s East London studio in September 2025, she found two years worth of ideas waiting. What followed became What Are The Odds, with the majority of the album taking shape across just three studio sessions.

Across the album, Jorja explores friendship, grief, growth, self-discovery and love. “For Life” reflects on loving a friend through addiction, “Pretend” confronts betrayal, “Young Heart” looks back at a younger version of herself with affection and honesty, while the title track examines the realities of growing up in public. Elsewhere, “This City” features a re-recorded version of Devlin’s iconic “London City” verse, tracing Jorja’s evolving relationship with the capital while reconnecting her with the sounds and communities that inspired the record.
