Jorja Smith has shared the title track of her upcoming second album.
With 'Falling Or Flying' set to arrive on September 29, the eponymous R&B cut incorporates elements of funk, rock and pop, and follows her spring singles Try Me and Little Things, and Go Go Go, released earlier in August.
It comes with a video that marks the British artist's directorial debut. Commenting on it, she revealed that the clip, "came to mind 'cause I always wanted to shoot a video in space. Falling Or Flying just made me think of that. I wanted to go up into space with someone I love and cherish, but they didn’t want to come with me."
Smith also shared the tracklist for 'Falling Or Flying', which includes guest appearances from J Hus and Lila Iké. Smith added: "I like this world that I’ve just come into. And I’m still figuring things out. Always figuring things out. This is the first time I’m putting stuff out there that I can connect with right now."
Smith will support the record with intimate UK launch shows in September and October, including a performance at Banquet Records in Kingston, and Rough Trade presented gigs in Nottingham, London and Bristol.
