Los Angeles-based artist Rochelle Jordan releases her new album, Play With the Changes on TOKiMONSTA?s Young Art Records. For Jordan, a desire for sonic expansion has long been embedded into her fusion of futuristic and ancestrally soulful R&B. To hear a Rochelle Jordan song is to absorb a blend of sampledelic 90s pop, vintage UK house and garage, 31st century electronic bangers, airy late-night ballads, and progressive hip-hop. On Play With the Changes, Jordan showcases not just her own personal evolution, but a path to pushing sound forward. Produced by KLSH, Machinedrum, and Jimmy Edgar, the album presents her as a modern heir in a lineage of powerhouse vocalists with style and imagination: everyone from Whitney Houston to Celine Dion, Aaliyah to Amerie, Kelis to Mariah Carey. Following singles ?GOT EM? and ?ALL ALONG,? ?NEXT 2 YOU? is an alluring R&B track backed by a 2-step beat and radiant, celestial synths. ?When KLSH first played me this beat, I thought it was so jarring and unconventional that I fell in love with it,? says Jordan. ?It really took me back to the days when I obsessed over Deadmau5 and Artful Dodger, but this was a very futuristic sound I hadn't quite heard before. It's as strange as it sounds, as it feels, and is as beautiful and unique as I love for my music to be. As far as the lyrics go, the song is about what it says. I'm trying to get next to you."
