new album out Aug 21st. single Alive is a steamy banger.



 
Jorja's voice is so smooth on this, I could do with a little less of him but it is very good. A nocturnal summer groove.
 
The first half of the album might just be a bit too cohesive. For the most part I'm gently bopping but Dancing is very good:



Spotify embeds apparently dead.
 
this is a really good album, the second half especially takes off. I Lied, You Lied and Make It Your Home are LUSH.

the orphaned single High from 2024 (her best song I think) would've fit it like a glove.
 
The second half is definitely better, things loosen up after the early stretch with the breakbeat/garage sound.
 
After two top three albums, this one lands at number 17. This is still four places higher than Sam Smith's surely very disappointing return.
 
Surprised at how poorly this charted. Unlike Sam, she never needed big charting singles for the previous albums to do well 🤷🏻‍♂️
 
I thought she would have made top 10 easy. and I didn't even realise Sam Smith's flopped that hard!
 
both had incredibly low key campaigns so I'm really not surprised
