Jaykae ft: Jorja Smith - 1000 Nights (Official Video)

Exploring themes of crime, family and loss with sensitive authenticity, Jaykae and Jorja Smith go back to back on this garage-infused, evocative banger. Skilfully fusing silky R&B tones with pure rap, Jaykae boasts his innate penmanship and distinct, syncopated delivery - whilst Jorja continues to showcase her unique, heartfelt vulnerability.

"The track was written and recorded with me and Jorja in the studio together, not sending across vocal takes between studios and I think you can hear that - there’s a different energy about it. It’s got that classic garage sound but the storyline is so relevant to today.” - Jaykae.

Together, the pair are a prime example of the increasing transcendence of genre and place in the UK, with1000 Nights’ set to be a milestone release. This is an iconic collaboration that should see both stars underline their status as two of the best in the country right now.
