Jorja Smith releases independent album ‘What Are The Odds’

Overview

British singer-songwriter Jorja Smith has released the single ‘I Lied, You Lied’ as a preview for her upcoming third studio album, ‘What Are The Odds’. The track, co-produced by P2J and Marco Bernardis, utilizes electronic programming, piano, and saxophone to explore themes of emotional fatigue and toxic relationship cycles.

On August 20, 2026, Smith released ‘What Are The Odds’, marking her debut as a fully independent artist. The album, produced in collaboration with P2J, incorporates musical styles such as UK Garage, Grime, 2-Step, UK Funky, and House into Smith’s R&B foundation.

Reflecting on her career, Smith described the experience of fame as ‘overstimulating’. She noted that scrutiny regarding her appearance and the pressure to maintain momentum following her debut album, ‘Lost and Found’, prompted her to seek periods of retreat to reconnect with her roots and personal happiness.
