Jorja Smith on Love, Life Lessons & New Album Launch | My i-D

In the latest episode of My i-D, artist and songwriter @JorjaSmith takes us back to her beginnings as a girl growing up in the English town of Walsall and guides us through the lessons she’s learned since then. The Gemini musician – who appeared on the cover of our Summer issue – breaks down the little lies she told as a teenager that transformed into one of her biggest songs, what her ideal day looks like and the making of her album ‘Falling or Flying’. Articulating heartbreak, Jorja follows in the creative footsteps of her idol Amy Winehouse, revealing in the interview all the life-changing people around her and what it’s like to be in love.
