Jorja Smith has shared a new track from the soundtrack to Riz Ahmed's 'Bait'
'Price Of It All' arrives from the upcoming Prime Video comedy series.
Jorja Smith has shared 'Price Of It All', a new track written as the cinematic theme for Bait, the upcoming six-part Prime Video comedy series created by and starring Riz Ahmed. The song arrives alongside a visualiser ahead of the show's premiere on 25th March.
The track reflects the heightened emotional stakes faced by the series' central character, Shah Latif, an out-of-work British-Pakistani actor whose world is thrown into chaos when he reaches the final audition to play the next James Bond. Across four days, family dynamics, fame, identity and online scrutiny all begin to collide around him.
The wider soundtrack for the series spans cinematic orchestration, psychedelic Pakistani film music from the 1970s, and work from contemporary UK and South Asian artists. A full soundtrack album, 'Bait (Music From the Original Series)', lands on 25th March, with an extended edition following on 16th April alongside the official music video for Smith's contribution. The album also features tracks from Anish Kumar, Arooj Aftab, Jay Sean, Véyah, Origin Unknown and MC Shabba D.
Jorja Smith's live schedule includes six performances supporting Harry Styles at Mexico City's Estadio GNP Seguros this summer as part of his Together, Together world tour, while she has also been confirmed as a co-headliner at All Points East in London's Victoria Park this August, curating the line-up alongside Tems.
