A fairly strong EP after a fairly strong career. She won?t be blowing anyone out of the water but there are some solid tracks here and overall, it?s a present listen; even if it will be forgotten once another RnB album comes out. She does have a wide range of styles and ideas on this project which is a nice, pleasant surprise from her earlier work.

Forgot to upload this one earlier - this is a nice EP that shows a Jorja in good form and improving. For starters there isn't really a bad track, and she did away with the bland ballads that clunked her prior records. The closing track does start on a sadder, melancholic vibe, but it does keep a beat going and is great fun. There is still a feeling of looking for a direction, but there is more of a direction to speak with, as the mid-record emphasises more on her soulsy side whilst the beginning and end revel more of an electronic, 'modern' style. 1 is really cool and has a nice prod with vocals that are both good and intelligently sparse. I am not as sure about 2 as I feel like some of those beats won't age too well, but the track remains alright and beside the meme horn sound in the beginning 3 is really cool in its prod. The first guest rap verse doesn't work hugely well for me but hte second one is better integrated with the interesting drums and prod. 4 starts the guitar-ish-led soul phase of the record in excellent fashion although a wee bit too short for my liking and with a questionable skit at the end. 5 continues the exact same vibe but is just a touch less memorable, before 6 prolongs the guitar soul vibe for one last track in a very nice and soft song. 7 brings back a beat with a reaggeaton groove tucked away discretely in a comfy prod, making for a track that is both subdued and catchy working really nicely before the emotional-ish closer I mentioned above. Well done and a definite look upwards for the future! 3.65
