    It’s a real album, with an arc and continuity. Lost & Found is one of those rare records that’s adventurous but can also appeal to that aunt or sister-in-law or Grammy voter who finds a new artist they like every 15 years.

    With classically trained vocals, storytelling swagger and a knack for melodic invention, Lost & Found serves as both introduction and foundation. The debut offering is laden with contradictions: feels safe yet edgy, simple yet complex, ambitious yet relaxed.

    While Lost & Found doesn’t feel like Jorja Smith’s magnum opus, it’s a brilliant first draft.

    A powerful tool for repairing a broken heart and indicative of an even brighter future, Lost & Found is satisfying and promising at once.

    Smith curated these tracks to showcase her insecurities to fans that will relate to the transparency of her work. Lost & Found is a strong foundation for the up-and-coming Smith and her R&B fused experiences. The gushing warmth of her emotion resonates into a digestible, easy listening album.

    Smith’s made the grade on this serviceable first record Lost & Found, and the path to her becoming Britain’s next global export is looking pretty clear. If only it was made to feel less of a drag.

I have to admit that I was a bit worried at first that the album might be disappointing, but I was captivated from the very first song. While there are a few songs on the album that have been previously released, they perfectly fit the feel of the album and feel fresh again. Definitely can't wait to see what Jorja's gonna to give us next.… Expand

    ____ The first impression of the album: here it is - real Music, that hits right into the heart! In the best traditions of R & B and soul____ The first impression of the album: here it is - real Music, that hits right into the heart! In the best traditions of R & B and soul music. It spreads like a balm around the body, envelops and evokes a variety of emotions: from warm sadness and languid tranquility to unrestrained love throughout the body. It makes you feel, experience and sway in the rhythm of rhythm and blues.
    Soulful, sincere and understandable, - "Lost & Found" becomes "native" from the first composition. There is nothing superfluous in it - only high-quality music and Jorja's seductive voice.

    This is a strong album from Jorja Smith. Showing good and personal lyrics discussing rejection, and heartbreak. Smooth grooving songs and someThis is a strong album from Jorja Smith. Showing good and personal lyrics discussing rejection, and heartbreak. Smooth grooving songs and some very earnest and heart felt tracks here as well. It's nearly a flawless album. My only complaint is that as the album plays on it blends to much of the same sound. Same tempo on acoustic. For what the album is it's great, but I still wanted to hear more risk and more creativity. I definitely recommend this album a listen and I look forward to more music from her.… Expand
