Jordana is back with the third and final single from the Grand Jury Music re-release of her 2019 Classical Notions of Happiness, out this Friday March 27th, with the R&B influenced “Sway”. “Sway” combines the laid back lo-fi bedroom pop of her first collection of songs with the increasingly complex production Jordana has showcased with her new material. On the new single, Jordana has created a balm of a love song for being at a loss, unsure of your footing, and just swaying with the uncertainty. Speaking to the new song Jordana says “”Sway” is a love song about a loss for words — where instead of speaking, a single, shameless movement, a sway, takes place in its absence.”
Jordana first announced the re-release Classical Notions Of Happiness with the hooky lo-fi bedroom pop song “Signs” and followed that up with the scuzzy, fuzzed-out guitar-driven tune “Crunch”, produced by rising NYC staple MELVV, which saw Jordana showing off her adept guitar lines and a fleshed-out indie-rock direction from the promising young musician.
Previously Jordana shared the bedroom-pop ode to weird dates dictated by astrological inconsistencies, “Signs”, alongside the throwback video that opens with the driving bass line that runs throughout the track and Jordana herself in a parking lot hitting the woah. “Signs”, like all of Jordana’s songs, has a stark honesty and vulnerability to it. Disguising her incisive songwriting behind quotidian experiences Jordana is able to create moving vignettes about bad dates, intrusive thoughts and falling in love, with ease. Speaking to “Signs” Jordana says; “some people are really big on astrology, and like to associate a person with their sign and sometimes judge a person before they meet them based on their sign, this is basically what this song is about. I hung out with a person like that once and it was really awkward and in the song, it definitely insinuates that we weren’t vibing with each other.”
Jordana self-released Classical Notions Of Happiness in 2019 and saw a Pitchfork track review for the standout track “Intrusive Thoughts” , which also caught the ear of The Needle Drop’s Anthony Fantano who reviewed the stand out track from the original album, “Jackie’s 15”. Jordana produces and records all of her songs in her bedroom, truly living the bedroom-pop descriptor. Her three new songs, “Sway”, “Signs” and “Crunch”, showcase the direction this exciting young artist is taking with larger production, deep bass grooves and fuzzed out guitars, distancing herself from the more folk-skewed songs that proliferate Classical Notions Of Happiness. Jordana’s music is of the moment, she’s a 19-year-old with an ear for creating catchy, compelling, songs that don’t lose any of their honest emotional depths in their joy. Jordana’s tour with TV Girl is still scheduled but may change or be postponed as the situation develops.
