The UK singer confirms a new full-length and shares an early track, while separate projects from P2J, Devlin, and alt‑j’s Joe Newman also surface.
Jorja Smith has set a title for her third album: What Are The Odds. The announcement arrived alongside news of a Wizkid collaboration called “Alive,” though further release details remain thin for now. Smith’s last full-length, falling or flying, landed in 2023, making this a relatively swift follow‑up that tilts her output back toward the rhythmic, sometimes Afro‑swing‑laced spaces she explored earlier in her career.
Separately, producer P2J is attached to a project that sees Devlin returning to re‑record his “London City” verse for a track titled “This City.” No artist or album context has been given, but the pairing suggests a deliberate look backward at grime’s foundational texts.
Alt‑j’s Joe Newman has also confirmed his debut solo album, The Canyon, under the name JJerome87. Newman’s work within alt‑j has long balanced literary idiosyncrasy with left‑field indie structures; a solo turn offers room to stretch those instincts without the weight of band dynamics. The album’s announcement gives no firm date, but its existence points to a period of recalibration for the British singer‑songwriter.
