The 20-year-old music star's new record, Lost and Found, includes previously released singles Teenage Fantasy, Blue Lights and Where Did I Go?

The singer/songwriter spent three years writing the songs that make up the album - beginning the process as a 17-year-old.

Earlier today, Jorja also appeared on the BBC Live Lounge to perform renditions of Rihanna's Man Down and Cardi B's Be Careful.

The star has also recently been named among the top 50 'Movers and Shakers Of The Moment' by Elle Magazine. The list is 'a celebration of the next generation of game-changers and hell-raisers who are reframing the world of fashion, beauty, culture, politics and technology – and inspiring the Elle woman in 2018', says the publication.

This is just one in a long list of accolades achieved by the young artist this year, with Jorja winning the 2018 BRITS Critics’ Choice Award in December which led her to perform alongside chart-topping artist Rag 'N' Bone Man at the music awards ceremony in February.

Fans of Jorja will be able to hear tracks from her new album when she plays her only announced Midlands show this year at Birmingham's O2 Academy on October 13.
