V would like to wish Jorja Smith a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY! To celebrate her birthday and the 2nd anniversary of her debut studio album "Lost and Found" this week, we’re looking back at her V115 cover for the next installment of our Collector’s Club! Shot back in 2018, the singer-songwriter was reaching new heights to superstardom, as her debut single "Blue Lights" helped propel her artistry into the limelight. Focusing on her eclectic sound, Jorja has never been afraid to tap into the raw emotion she experiences in life. As an artist who is not one to shy away from issues in today’s society, her debut single discussed the police brutality that exists in the UK, which resonates now more than ever before with the current social climate we are in. V salutes the bravery of the talented musicians like Jorja who are leading the new generation of artists using their sound as a reflection of todays society. V Love You, Jorja !

With the sale of this issue, V will donate a portion of the proceeds to @blklivesmatter and with only 5 issues of V115 left in the world, you don’t want to miss this opportunity to score your copy and help support the movement! Head to the link in bio to purchase now
