Crafted entirely alongside longtime collaborator P2J, the project sees Smith diving deeper into her genre-blurring sonic palette, pulling inspiration from UK garage, grime, house and Afro-house.

Speaking on the album to Billboard, Smith shared:

“The music feels uplifting, but the lyrics can be a bit sad at times. They’re about growing up, love, loss, friendships and figuring things out as I go. I trusted my instincts with this one, and I think you can hear that throughout the record.”

The announcement arrives alongside the release of her new single ‘Alive,’ which sees Smith linking up with Afrobeats titan Wizkid. The breezy collaboration arrives with a Paris-shot visual. Watch it below.

Adding to the excitement, Smith will celebrate release day by co-headlining London’s All Points East with Tems, capping off what is already shaping up to be a huge 2026.

Get ready, ‘What Are The Odds’ is set to arrive August 21.
