Jorja Smith Unveils New Album 'What Are the Odds' and Massive 2026 Tour — Here's Everything You Need to Know

As documented in Screenshot (550).png, Jorja Smith is ready to take over the music world once again. The English R&B and hip-hop sensation has officially announced her upcoming album What Are the Odds, set to drop on August 21, 2026, via FAMM. But that’s not all — she's also gearing up for a massive international tour that will keep her on the road through the end of the year. While US and Canada fans may be disappointed that no dates are scheduled in North America, the global itinerary is nothing short of epic.

Smith, who has been captivating audiences with her soulful voice and introspective lyrics since her breakout debut Lost & Found in 2018, is now entering a new creative chapter. Her upcoming album promises to blend her signature smooth R&B with fresh influences, including a standout collaboration with Afrobeats icon Wizkid. The album announcement comes just as she prepares for the finishing kick of her 2026 tour, which already includes multiple festival appearances and headline shows across Europe, Africa, and Latin America.

Album Details: 'What Are the Odds' Tracklist and Singles

The new LP has already produced two singles that have fans buzzing. The first, "What's Done is Done", dropped in May — a danceable, carefree track that showcases Smith's ability to create music that feels effortless yet profound. The second single, "Alive", features Wizkid and channels a sultry, slow-burn vibe reminiscent of Sade. The Nigerian superstar’s verse fits seamlessly into the track, adding an extra layer of warmth and rhythm.

According to the information in Screenshot (550).png, the full tracklist for What Are the Odds is packed with twelve songs that promise to take listeners on an emotional journey. Here is the official rundown:

• 1. "For Life"
• 2. "What Are the Odds"
• 3. "What’s Done is Done"
• 4. "This City (feat. Devlin)"
• 5. "Pretend"
• 6. "The Way It Was"
• 7. "I Lied, You Lied"
• 8. "Dancing"
• 9. "Alive (feat. Wizkid)"
• 10. "Young Heart"
• 11. "Make It Your Home"
• 12. "When It Gets Like That"

The album’s title suggests a reflective, perhaps even philosophical tone. Smith has always been known for her deeply personal songwriting — from the heartbreak of "Blue Lights" to the empowerment of "Be Honest" featuring Burna Boy. With What Are the Odds, she seems to be leaning into themes of fate, resilience, and the unpredictability of life and love.

A Global Tour That Spans Continents

While the album is the highlight, the tour is equally impressive. Smith’s 2026 itinerary kicks off in July and runs through November, hitting festivals and venues across Morocco, Mexico, Slovakia, Hungary, the United Kingdom, South Africa, Spain, Brazil, Chile, and Argentina. Notably, she will be performing a staggering six shows in Mexico City at the Estadio GNP Seguros in early August — a testament to her massive popularity in Latin America.

Jorja Smith: A Rising Force in R&B

For those who need a refresher: Jorja Smith first exploded onto the scene with her debut single "Blue Lights" in 2016, a haunting track that sampled Dizzee Rascal and addressed racial profiling. She quickly became one of the most critically acclaimed young artists in the UK, earning a Mercury Prize nomination for her debut album Lost & Found. Her collaborations with Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and Stormzy have only solidified her status as a genre-defying powerhouse.

Now, with What Are the Odds, she seems poised to push her sound even further. The inclusion of Wizkid on "Alive" hints at a deeper exploration of Afrobeats — a natural progression given her previous work with Burna Boy and her own Nigerian heritage on her father’s side. The tracklist also features a collaboration with Devlin, the British grime legend, which suggests she’s not afraid to blend genres.

Fans have been eagerly awaiting new music since her 2023 album Falling or Flying, which debuted at No. 3 on the UK Albums Chart. What Are the Odds is shaping up to be another career-defining moment. Whether she’s singing about heartbreak, joy, or the chaos of modern life, Smith has a gift for making every song feel deeply personal yet universally relatable.

As the August release date approaches, expect more teasers, music videos, and possibly additional singles. For now, the details from Screenshot (550).png have given the world a clear picture of what’s to come: a stunning new album, a global tour that prioritizes festivals and major venues, and an artist at the peak of her powers. If you’re lucky enough to be in one of the countries on her tour — or if you simply stream the album on release day — you’re in for a treat.
