Jorja Smith Releases New Single “By Any Means”

Jorja Smith presses for changes against social injustice on “By Any Means,” as part of the upcoming Roc Nation compilation, Reprise

With social justice issues still running rampant, singer/songwriters can push their pens and lift their voices in extending the cause. The upcoming collection entitled Reprise (Roc Nation) spotlights various artists coming together in musical protest, includes the U.K.’s Jorja Smith. Since she bowed with her single “Blue Lights” – s adamant statement denouncing police brutality – and an impressive full-length debut ,Lost & Found, Smith was poised to go beyond social media outlets in bringing attention to the Black Lives Movement.

Her contribution for Reprise and the compilation’s first single, “By Any Means,” roars with the urgency in promoting more conversation about the seriousness of this continuously pressing issue: “Go ahead and stand your ground/We’re on the long road to freedom.” Smith is another artist to keep our ears open in what she has to say in addressing today’s complex social world.

Check out “By Any Means,” which is currently available on most digital outlets.
