UK's Jorja Smith links up with producer Preditah for "On My Mind."

Jorja Smith is a bubbling name right now, both in her home of the UK and in North America. Many might recognize her for her appearance on Drake's More Life for the song "Get It Together" alongside Black Coffee. Since then, it seems like her name has been popping up more and more, as it should. The UK songstress is an amazing talent and Drake even recently said that she has one of the most incredible voices. He's definitely not wrong, Jorja Smith has definitely been on a lot more radars this year.

While she's currently embarking on a North American tour and is set to be touring with Bruno Mars this fall, the singer dropped her latest single "On My Mind" which was produced by Preditah. It's a smooth single that definitely sounds like it's made to be partying to or turned up in the club. It leans way more towards UK Garage than towards R&B. It has a bit of an old school vibe to it but that lays more on Smith's vocal efforts as opposed to Preditah's production. The two of them together prove to make an incredible pairing and this song is a testament to that.

The UK singer has been really capturing everyone's attention since 2016's Project 11. She has since nabbed herself a feature on one of 2017's biggest releases and has dropped two incredible solid singles as well. In the past few months, she dropped "Beautiful Little Fools" and "Teenage Fantasy. The former was released on International Women's Day. Hopefully we get more music from her soon in the form of a project. This song is definitely going to be something you'll need to have on your playlist this fall.

Jorja Smith is definitely someone to keep an eye out on if you haven't already.

Quotable Lyrics
So I ask myself, do I let you go?
Or do I keep you in the frame of my mind?
Now I'm growing wise to your sugar-coated lies
Nothing's sweet about my misery, yeah
