UK singer, Jorja Smith debuts a new song titled, “Blue Lights”. Produced by Joice, Jorja gives smooth luminating feel to RnB/Hip Hop production as she speaks on living in a environment, where many are accused before even knowing if convicted of any crime.
Full of rap references, “Blue Lights” is an abstract social commentary that can be likened to a Basquiat drawing. The social commentary of the song burns through thanks to her powerful vocals and the ominous backdrop that guides them.
Produced by Joice; Additional Production/Mixing/Mastering by Engine Earz; Cuts/Scratches by DJ Complexion; Artwork by Shannon Prince.
“Blue Lights” is a very strong start by the English singer, who is only 18 years old, and I can not wait to hear more. If she can continue to drop quality music like this, Jorja is up for big things.
Jorja Smith: Blue Lights
Jorja Smith: Blue Lights Lyrics:
I wanna turn those blue lights into strobe lights
Not blue flashing lights, maybe fairy lights
Those blue lights into strobe lights
Maybe even fairy lights, not blue flashing lights
Don’t you run when you hear the sirens coming
When you hear the sirens coming
You better not run cause the sirens’ not coming for you
What have you done? You went to school that day
Was a bit late but it was a Monday
Kept after class for answering back
You apologized any harm in that
I wanna turn those blue lights
What have you done. Into strobe lights
There’s no need to run. Not blue flashing lights
If you’ve done nothing wrong
Maybe fairy lights. Blue lights should just pass you by
Gun crime into your right ear
Drugs and violence into your left
Default white headphones flooding the auditory
Subconscious waves you accept
You’re sitting on the 4 back home
“Where you at, G? Answer your phone!”
Pause the poison to answer his message
Your boy sounds rushed, fears for his adolescence
I wanna turn those blue lights
What have you done. Into strobe lights
There’s no need to run. Not blue flashing lights
If you’ve done nothing wrong
Maybe fairy lights. Blue lights should just pass you by
Tall black shadow as you’re getting off the bus
Shadow shows no emotion so what’s even the fuss?
But the face of your boy casts a darker picture
Of the red handed act, he’s gonna whisper;
“Look blud I’m sorry cause I know you got my back
He was running, I couldn’t think, I had to get out of that”
Not long ago you were miming to the “Shook Ones”
Now this really is part two cause you’re the shook one
Hands you the tool as you question your friendship
How’s man like you gonna make me a convict?
Level of a felon when I’ve done nothing wrong
Blood on my hands but I don’t know where it’s from
Oh, you got blood on your hands but you don’t know where it’s from
You better run when you hear the sirens coming
When you hear the sirens coming
Better run when you hear the sirens coming
Cause they will be coming for you
Run when you hear the sirens coming
Better run when you hear the sirens coming
When you hear the sirens coming
The blue lights are coming for you
I wanna turn those blue lights
What have you done. Into strobe lights
There’s no need to run. Not blue flashing lights
If you’ve done nothing wrong
Maybe fairy lights. Blue lights should just pass you by
Blud, when you hear the sirens coming
Don’t you run when you hear the sirens coming
Blud, when you hear the sirens coming
Don’t you run when you hear the sirens coming
What have you d-d-d-done done
Don’t you run. Don’t you run
Don’t you run when you hear the sirens coming.
