AJ Tracey and Jorja Smith have reunited for a new single, 'Crush'

AJ Tracey and Jorja Smith have joined forces on new single 'Crush', marking their first collaboration since 2019's 'Ladbroke Grove'.

The track sees the pair exploring themes of youthful romance and nostalgia, drawing from their shared British musical heritage.

"This track 'Crush' is really important to me, it's a re-uniting of me and my good friend who also happens to be my favourite singer, on a British sonic that perfectly represents both of us," AJ explains. "This song sounds like the feeling I used to get in secondary school when I fancied a girl, rushing home to call them on my old Nokia, sharing MP3s we think each other would like, and talking all night on MSN. It's a UK ting!"

Jorja Smith adds: "This tune just takes me back, it feels young but also brand new. Makes me feel how I did when I first started dropping music, makes me think of getting on the bus to school, makes me think of summer in the 2000's - all types of feelings!"

The release follows AJ Tracey's previous work, including collaborations with Mabel on 'West Ten' and MoStack on 'Dinner Guest', while Jorja Smith released her second album 'Falling or Flying' in 2023.
