"Australian-born, London-based musician Jorja Chalmers gained international recognition as the show-stealing saxophonist and keyboard player for Bryan Ferry's live band, which she's been an integral part of since 2007. While constantly busy touring throughout the world, she's been writing and recording her own songs, and following a string-laden 2016 EP, Human Again is her synth-heavy full-length debut. Fitting squarely within the Italians Do It Better aesthetic, this is a rich, haunting set of dream pop tunes and cinematic instrumentals that seem to emerge out of a misty late-night haze ... Human Again is a carefully composed, gorgeously evocative narrative".

"Red drapes billow in the night as Human Again materialises on your internal event horizon. You stop and listen as Jorja Chalmers's debut album takes hold of your imagination, the outdoors manifesting inside, around where you sit - now a little less comfortably. For these twelve tracks are a cartography of unreal things that feel very real indeed ... Human Again is, as David Lynch would say, a beautiful thing and it would seem that Chalmers has found the perfect vessel for her solo work in Italians Do It Better".
