Drake, Jorja Smith dating news truth: 'Hotline Bling' singer promotes Brit singer

Drake's love life has always been in the news, just like his hit songs. There is speculation in the media that the Canadian singer is dating British songstress Jorja Smith. Various media outlets are quoting unnamed sources claiming that the “Hotline Bling” singer and Smith are now a couple.

“It’s no surprise he’s fallen for Jorja, she’s absolutely gorgeous and an amazing singer,” an unnamed source close to the couple allegedly told The Sun. “He's been championing her a little too strongly… He's brought her out on stage at his UK gigs and Instagramming about her a lot.” However, neither Drake nor Smith commented about these romance rumors.

Smith also appeared in one of the promotional posters of his album “More Life.” The teenager is the only female vocalist in his album. Hollywood Life claims that the singer has been friends with Smith for a long time, but the sparks in their relationship flew off when Drake released his new album. The sensational British singer features on the song “Get It Together” and “Jorja interlude” on Drake's “More Life” album.

Jorja seems to have a bright future as a singer after she has already been considered as the next Amy Winehouse at such a tender age. Many publications have compared her genre to that of the late “Rehab” singer. Just like Winehouse, Smith is also a jazz, R&B and new-wave soul singer. She released her first EP “Blue Eyes” when she was 18 years old. Her hit songs include “A Prince” and “Where Did I Go?”

One look at her Instagram account reveals that she is a fashion-conscious person, similar to Rihanna in looks. Birmingham Mail has gone to the extent of calling Smith as “UK's soulful answer to Rihanna.” BBC Music Sound of 2017 has included the singer from Walsall within the “ones to watch” list consisting of 15 new artists tipped for big things next year.

Drake not only introduced the singer in one of his opening acts with “she is from Walsall.” He even made a visit to a Co-op in Walsall supermarket for sweets with the singer. The staff at the store were reportedly stunned to see Drake there. "It’s just great he is a big fan of Smith's music because she is really talented,” an onlooker told the website.
