ich weiß nicht. aber gemessen an dem was sie machen könnte – macht sie meiner meinung nach leider sehr wenig. song / video wissen so gar nicht wo sie hin wollen. oder wie seht ihr das?

"try me" ist halt nichts so richtig. damit wird sie kommerziell nicht durch die decke gehen – dafür ist es auf allen eben zu wenig. und auch nicht die wertlosen props von potentiellen fanboys wie mir einsammeln. ich habs hier auch schonmal erwähnt, aber ich war damals sogar auf nem konzert von ihr und selbst da hat mir bei ihr so ne gewisse stilsicherheit gefehlt. natürlich vergibt man ihr auch mittelmäßige ausschussware-balladen und ein billig aussehendes abi-ball-kleid nach dem anderen.

gemessen an ihrem talent, macht einen das aber schon fast wütend. sie soll sich doch einfach ne avirex jacke überwerfen, 10-12 uk garage / 4x4 bassline / 2step hits nehmen, one take neu einsingen und dazu ein paar komplett unambitionierte videos im stile von "on my mind" rausbringen, in denen sie mit ihren freunden abhängt und mit einer maximalen beiläufigkeit wunderschön aussieht. wenn die z.b. mal "i'll bring you flowers" neu einsingen würde ... das wäre mit ansage der nächste sommer-hit. oder brit-pop classics ... jorja singt ne neue version von artic monkeys - i bet you look good on the dancefloor, oasis - don't look back in anger und the kooks - naive ein. dazu noch irgendein absurdes gesangs-experiment ala the prodigy - breathe rmx und das als mixtape raushauen. nächster classic.
 
als hätte sie hier mitgelesen (hi jorja). geht auf jeden fall in die richtig richtung. vor allem was video-ästhetik und vibe angeht:

​
Jorja Smith is officially back. Further to making a recent return to the musical sphere with her singles “Try Me” and “Little Things”, today she has confirmed the details of her highly anticipated second album, falling or flying, set for release globally onSeptember 29th 2023 via FAMM and available to pre-order now - here.

Alongside the announcement, Jorja has also unveiled the album's poignant artwork; a stunning portrait of her, shot on film by the prestigious British photographer, Liz Johnson Artur. In addition, Jorja has also announced a series of UK live shows in September, commemorating the release of the album. Further details below.

Through her new record, Jorja has delivered an undeniable modern classic, effortlessly condensing any number of disparate styles and genres into music which thrillingly broaches any gap between Jazz, Soul, R&B and Funky House. A bold, brave and courageous leap forward from her critically acclaimed debut album Lost and Found - falling or flying is an album that speaks to the musical and emotional era where Jorja is now, and how she got here. It isn’t so much an exploration of how she’s found herself but more a statement that she has arrived, and that her understanding of her life, her relationships, and her feelings, have deepened, matured and crystallized as she enters her twenty sixth year. “And despite it all,”she says, “it's definitely a journey I've just started. That's what's crazy. It's only just begun.”

Sonically, this album, a no-skips body of work, isn’t like anything you’ve heard before. It sits masterfully in this same space of excitement, self-exploration and self-assertion that Jorja does. Compromised of deep, thumping drums, racing basslines, irresistible hooks and distinctive beats, falling or flying runs at the same pace that Jorja’s mind does. “I don't slow down enough” she says. “This album is like my brain. There’s always so much going on but each song is definitely a standstill moment.”

Much of the creative energy that shaped the album emerged from studio sessions with the producer duo DAMEDAME* back in her hometown of Walsall, where, to Jorja, the heart is. The album is both a sonic and an emotional tour of where she’s been, and what she’s been about, in the two years since she dropped her latest offering, Be Right Back. “It touches on breakups, relationships with my friends, relationships with old friends, relationships with myself.” She says. “It's definitely about a lot of relationships, but every song I write I can sing it to myself.”

Of the many British voices in music today, Jorja is among the most commanding, writing at a pitch of intensity and urgency that few can match. Over the past five and half years, since the release of her debut album Lost & Found, she has been celebrated unanimously across the world for her evocative song-writing, powerful delivery, pure emotion and unbridled talent as a young woman navigating her way through life and in 2021 was the year Jorja’s hiatus from music was broken. Enter Be Right Back, the holding space between the sensation that was Lost & Found, and falling or flying. Be Right Back was born from playing, jamming, freestyling, and sounding out what Jorja had been on the edge of expressing all her life. It was a project entirely for her fans. “Be Right Back did exactly what I wanted it to do. It was a little waiting room so people knew I was coming back.”

And come back she has - entering a chapter of her return to music that’s certain to draw in and intoxicate Jorja’s fans and new listeners alike. And what has changed for her, in the five years since Lost & Founddominated the charts and the soundscape? “I like this world that I've just come into. And I’m still figuring things out. Always figuring things out.” Jorja says. “This is the first time I’m putting stuff out there that I can connect with right now.” Over the last few years, it’s been a reflective and transformative step into her mid twenties for her. She’s been able to step into herself and evolve as a songwriter and a woman despite an ever-changing musical landscape.

While she recognises that the global pandemic has been completely devastating, she acknowledges that it allowed her to stay still, to come more into herself, and to be more in control of the person she is, and of her musical output. Like some of the legendary musicians that came before her, Jorja is looking at the chaos and disorder in the world right now with resourceful, refined eyes, and she sees the glorious opportunity and enormous responsibility that affords. The net result is that while falling or flying sounds very much like Jorja Smith, it sounds like no Jorja Smith album you have ever heard before.​

völlig weird. aber irgendwie sympathisch und lässig, dass sie einfach mal mit allen erwartungen bricht und so ne avril lavigne anfang 2000er nummer bringt.

find ich auf jeden fall besser als diese beyonce musicalesquen nummern zu denen sie sonst ab und zu tendiert.

ja sehe es genauso. aber war ebenso überrascht. album wird glaub relativ komisch, also so sind meine erwartungen. aber bin eigentlich froh, dass sie nicht auf ihrem ersten album damals hängengeblieben ist.

hmm. jorja könnte halt auch in naketano-pullovern songs von kerstin ott covern und ich würde es nicht schlecht finden. im gegensatz zu little things (hat halt die hoffnung geweckt, dass sie diese sehr britische soundwelt ala jungle, garage, dnb mal auf nem album durchzieht) und go go go (hat die vorherige hoffnung direkt wieder gekillt, aber hat mit seinem überraschenden sound mir überraschend gut gefallen) finde ich falling or flying jetzt sehr belanglos. ihr bob ist aber cute.

Kriegt mich insgesamt aber nicht so wie ihr erstes Album seinerzeit. Lässt sich gut weghören, aber sind grad nicht so meine Vibes...
