Jorja Smith's had a great year so far and it's looking like 2018 is looking a lot brighter. After making an international impact with her appearance on Drake's More Life playlist, she put the world on notice of her talents. Spotify recently got Jorja Smith in the studio for a special session where she performed her single, "Teenage Fantasy" as well as a rendition of a Frank Ocean single, "Lost."

Jorja Smith adds her own spin to Frank Ocean's single. With no production and a single guitar backing her, Smith delivers a stripped down rendition of the single. Smith takes it and makes it her own. It's not the easiest task to take a song from someone like Frank Ocean and successfully execute the cover but Jorja Smith does it well and does it on her own accord.

Quotable Lyrics
She's at the stove
Can't believe I got here cookin' dope
I promise she'll be whippin' up meals for a family of her own
Some day
