Jorja Smith Joins Major League DJz on Their New Song “Come With Me”
The South African duo’s release is “their first foray” into electronic music.
South African duo Major League DJz have dropped “Come With Me,” a new collaboration with Jorja Smith.
Major League DJz explained the origins of the track, described as their “first official foray into electronic music.”
“We knew we wanted to step into the electronic space in a way that still felt authentic to who we are, and this track was the perfect balance,” the twins said via a statement, according to UPROXX. “We’ve also been wanting to work with Jorja on an original track for a while and now the timing feels perfect.”
The single was previewed by Pete Tong, who played it for fans at his sold-out KOKO London show ahead of its release. In a press release, the duo acknowledged their role in South African music.
“As global ambassadors of amapiano, Major League DJz have long been at the forefront of shaping and expanding the genre,” it read. “However, in their home country, amapiano has always existed alongside house and electronic dance music. Their latest single ‘Come With Me’ is a natural progression — blending their signature log drum rhythms with the pulse of house and Afro-electronic sounds.”
Jorja Smith recently spoke to British Vogue about her struggles with the scrutiny of fame over the years since her breakthrough almost a decade ago.
“It is what it is,” the U.K. singer explained. “How people perceive me and wanna see me, that’s them. All I care about is my fans and people who I can have great conversations with and a mutual respect for. And just doing my job. There’s more to worry about and be obsessed with than me eating some biscuits.”
