Favorite episode of Sneaker Shopping thus far.
Jorja Smith killed it on Drake’s More Life album, but it took me a while to dig into her other stuff. Then this morning, I was listening to the new Spotify Singles versions of her song “Teenage Fantasy” and Frank Ocean’s “Lost,” and off the strength of those, I think I’m now a full-blown Jorja Smith fan.
Maybe it’s because she’s from the UK, but the way she effortlessly slays it kind of reminds me of Amy Winehouse. Am I far off? Check out the video for her latest single “On My Mind” above (which I’m currently obsessed with), then peep the acoustic version below as well as a live rendition “Teenage Fantasy.”
Thoroughly enjoyed this interview with hip-hop mogul Steve Stoute. Lots of great stories about working with Nas and Jay-Z, and overall, I just really like his perspective on music and business and life in general. Check out Part 1 above, and Part 2 below. Shouts to Tidal!
