U.K. singer Jorja Smith releases the stirring single “Let Me Down,” a piano ballad that perfectly aligns Smith’s soaring vocals with Stormzy‘s deeply masculine vocals.
“It’s about meaning very little to someone but being okay with that even tho it hurts. Letting you down is all they do but it’s better than nothing,” said Smith, describing the song on Instagram.
Produced by Ed Thomas and Paul Epworth, “Let Me Down,” will likely be included on her upcoming, debut album, which is tentatively planned for a June 2018 release date.
Smith (wearing Balmain) and Stormzy performed the single at The Brits nomination event on January 13, 2018. The award ceremony will air on February 21st. In December, Smith was announced as the recipient of The Brits Critics Choice award.
