Multi-gifted British R&B singer Jorja Smith drops a new song titled “Alive” featuring Wizkid today, and she also announces her second album “What Are The Odds,” alongside it.
These two have been circling each other creatively for years. Jorja has previously appeared in Wizkid mixes and events, so an official collab was always a matter of when rather than if. “Alive” is that moment finally arriving, and the timing feels right for both of them.
Jorja herself said she trusted her instincts on this one, and that confidence shows. “Alive” sits in that warm, melodic space where her soulful British R&B meets Wizkid’s signature Afrobeats glow. Neither artist is working outside their comfort zone here. They just found the place where both sounds meet naturally and built something there.
Wizkid comes in with that effortless energy that has made him a go-to feature for international artists, while Jorja leads with the kind of emotionally honest songwriting that earned her the Brit Critics Choice Award back in 2018.
As the lead single for “What Are The Odds,” “Alive” sets a strong tone for what the album could deliver.
Listen to the song “JORJA SMITH – Alive Ft. Wizkid” and start counting down to the full project.
