Jorja Smith - Bussdown ft. Shaybo. An exclusive live performance for Vevo.

When Jorja Smith's success arrived, it arrived quickly. True, the UK star began writing songs when she was a West Midlands 11-year-old with a singer dad and a big imagination, and true, at 15 this Starbucks barista with the music scholarship met the person who'd become her manager. So there's some history in play. But a real career as a popular artist was still a bit of a dream back then. It wasn't til Smith wrote the hard-hitting ""Blue Lights"" at the age of 17 that the whoosh of triumph swooped her away. Critical acclaim for 2018's 'Lost and Found,' praise from the Mercury Awards, Brit Awards and the BBC's Sound Of insiders, work with superstars such as Drake and Kendrick, fans galore supporting impressive tours - for the last three years, she's been non-stop. Jorja's supple vocals turn thoughtful songs into memorable performances, and as recent tracks confirm, her art is always being refined. Last summer's ""By Any Means,"" last fall's Popcaan collab - with each new turn there's a deeper realization of goals that makes way for a little experimentation and a lotta tradition. Now her 'Be Right Back' project is here, and its eight songs create a world that invites listeners to learn more about her. Once inside, her candor takes control and the blend of music and lyrics becomes irresistible. That's why we're thrilled she partnered with Vevo for these performances, one for each of the project's tracks. Together, they're a seductive parallel piece to 'Be Right Back' itself. Cut a chunk of time and see how it feels to experience them all at once.
