Set to a characteristically heavy punk sound, the song depicts facing down adversity.

Jorja Smith – Little Things

Jorja Smith, whose 2018 debut album Lost & Found was a major hit, has garnered attention as one of the UK’s leading young R&B singer-songwriters.

Since releasing her debut, she has been putting out a few EPs and standalone singles at her own pace, keeping a slight distance from the fast-changing scene.

In April 2023 she released the new track Try Me, followed in May by Little Things, which is the focus of this piece.

The hypnotic beat that evokes nights spent on a feverish dance floor, the rolling bassline, the beautiful piano phrases, and Jorja’s soulful vocals together reveal a new side of her.
