Jorja kicked it off as the BRITs Critics Choice winner, embarking on a sold-out EU / North American headlining tour after releasing her highly awaited debut studio album Lost & Found to rave reviews. Jorja made her late night TV debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live, followed by appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, with additional highlight appearances at the 2018 ESPY Awards, NPR's Tiny Desk Series and more.

PRESS ON LOST & FOUND

""Lost & Found" could make her the breakout star of the year." - VARIETY

"Smith makes the restlessness of young adulthood sound elegant." - PITCHFORK

"An album set to slot seamlessly alongside her heroes (early Amy Winehouse, Lauryn Hill) and peers (SZA, Kali Uchis), Lost & Found balances sparse torch tunes with pop-spiked soul, all made distinct by Jorja's dusky tones that can slickly slide into a higher register." - THE FADER

"The British singer's debut effort is free of guest appearances, and her star shines brightest guiding listeners throughout her 12-track journey of heartbreak." - BILLBOARD

"That gift-Jorja's spellbinding voice-is the anchor that holds the 12-song debut together." - PIGEONS & PLANES

"Over 12 tracks, she demonstrates the range of her voice, speaking fluently in falsettos..." - NOISEY

"There is an innocent naïveté to Jorja Smith's music, a refreshing perspective not usually found in American pop's constant push toward the edge." - THE NEW YORKER

"British singer-songwriter Jorja Smith's voice is a force to be reckoned with." - PAPER MAG

"The brilliance of Smith is easily her tone: the way emotion moves through her voice in waves - knowingly, effortlessly, cool - even at her most vulnerable." - NPR

"Without actually signing to a label, Smith established her voice in the current landscape of hip-hop, alt-pop, pop, and grime before she even released a full album." - NY MAGAZINE'S THE CUT

"British artist Jorja Smith has a voice - and now, an album - to listen to on repeat" - TIME

"Jorja Smith, whose depth and complexity far transcends her 21 years, is a powerful, soulful voice to be reckoned with. Her career is poised for a meteoric ascent." - V MAGAZINE

"The soulful, evocative pull of her voice is often compared to that of the late Amy Winehouse. Like Winehouse, Smith also hails from England and has an affinity for jazzy influences." - ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
