Joseph spends July with Jorja

Singer, songwriter, producer and director Wesley Joseph unveils a brand new single and accompanying video featuring longtime collaborator and childhood friend Jorja Smith, a standout moment that captures the project’s emotional core in vivid detail. 

Shot in their hometown of Walsall, the visual returns Joseph to his roots, grounding the collaboration in a place that has shaped both artists’ histories. Cinematic in scope yet intimate in feeling, juxtaposing the rawness of midlands life with expansive shots of Walsall’s surrounding greenery. There’s a real sense of movement and intimacy that mirrors the track’s emotional undercurrent, the rolling hills and quiet residential moments lend the film a reflective, almost dreamlike quality.

"July was written during a difficult time for me but equally a time where I felt really thankful for the things that I do have. Just as the song started making sense and I knew what it was about, Jorja text me. It was scary timing because in that moment I knew this was our song. We recorded her vocals back home in Walsall after a day catching up in the sun reminiscing and dreaming, talking about growing up, how much everything's changed and how far we've come. It was a really special thing to be sat with one of my oldest friends having a 360 moment on record." said Joseph.
