Grammy Nominated Songwriter Will Jordan Drops New EP ‘Be Good’
Grammy-nominated and American Award-winning songwriter WILL JORDAN, known for penning hits for icons like Nicki Minaj, Jason Derulo and Iyaz, has unveiled his debut soulful EP titled, BE GOOD, available across all streaming platforms starting today.
BE GOOD is written entirely by JORDAN and produced by award-winning producer E. Jones (Rapsody,Talib Kweli, T.I., Ludacris) and includes appearances by Amber Navran and Farnell Newton. It is a collaboration of spirits and stories that transitions Jordan from his hip hop and pop roots to a more R&B-inspired sound with lyrics driven by events taking place in the U.S. and in his own life.
The eight tracks take listeners on a journey into the raw and genuine emotions JORDAN was feeling while creating this album. JORDAN blends his background in creating beats and combines it with his love of pop, to create a painful but elegant sounding release; a cohesive story that will be told and visualized through each song.
“Good Bye” is the follow-up single to his debut track “Back to Me”, a song that continues to be spun on Urban AC radio stations across the country on stations including Music Choice, Sirius XM and more.
“ ‘Good Bye’ is about the ups and downs that come with relationships in the social media/ microwave era,” explains JORDAN. “It’s about choosing to tough it out in a world where we have a million options with the swipe of a finger. We all know that breakups are never easy, so we have to decide whether we want to be angry and alone or miserable with company.”
JORDAN was told his entire life that he would never make it as a vocalist. He is living testament to the phrase: “if at first you don’t succeed, try try again.” That he did. After embarking on great success as a songwriter penning the hook in Nicki Minaj’s “Fly”, featuring Rihanna, and garnering his first American Music Award and Grammy-nomination, it wasn’t long before he was often found sleeping in the recording studio after spending nearly 24 hours recording and producing, perfecting his craft. He followed his heart, his passion and it caught the attention of A&R Executive Tommy Rotem. Rotem took JORDAN under his wing and shortly after, JORDAN was being sought after by some of the biggest labels in the industry to be signed as a solo artist. But wanting to stay true to himself and his music, he stayed independent and is proving when you stay authentic and honest, good guys do come in first.
