Wizkid Features on Jorja Smith’s New Single ‘Alive’ Ahead of Her New Album.

Nigerian music star Wizkid has reunited with British singer-songwriter Jorja Smith on her newly released single, “Alive,” bringing the pair together again after previous collaborations.

Released on July 2, “Alive” is one of the tracks from Jorja Smith’s forthcoming third studio album, “What Are The Odds”, which is due on August 21. The song blends smooth R&B melodies with subtle Afro-influenced rhythms, creating a relaxed sound that suits both artists. Jorja Smith sets the tone with her soulful vocals before Wizkid steps in with his signature calm delivery, adding a different texture without disrupting the flow of the record.

The official video, filmed in Paris, matches the song’s easy-going mood. The visual follows Jorja Smith as she dances, sweats, and moves through the streets, parties and hotel rooms of Paris during a sweltering summer night. The tension and energy build continuously throughout the video until she reunites with Wizkid for the song’s final moments. It highlights themes of friendship and connection.

For many Nigerian listeners, Wizkid’s appearance is one of the main reasons the release has attracted attention. He has worked with several international artists over the years while remaining selective about the songs he features on. On “Alive,” he settles naturally into Jorja Smith’s sound while still delivering the style that has earned him global recognition.

The new single also gives listeners a sense of the direction Jorja Smith is taking on “What Are The Odds”. The 12-track album was produced entirely by P2J, the British-Nigerian producer known for his work across Afrobeats, R&B and pop. According to Jorja Smith, the album grew out of conversations with producer P2J about creating music that leaned further into dance while preserving the honest songwriting that has become central to her work. Besides Wizkid, the only other featured artist on the project is British grime rapper Devlin.

For Wizkid, “Alive” is another international collaboration, but one that feels familiar rather than unexpected. His previous collaborations with Jorga Smith have been well received, and this latest reunion is likely to spark fresh interest from listeners as they count down to the release of her new album next month.
