Recorded last year in Toronto, the Canadian R&B duo Majid Jordan teased (and quickly revealed) the song and music video for their new track “Caught Up”, which features Grammy-nominated crooner Khalid. Marking the first official release since 2017’s incredible sophomore record The Space Between, could this the first single from a new album?
Instead of aggressively procrastinating this year – I will start off by using this down time between shows to get my shit right and set myself up for an organized, well-planned, and successful 2019. My 2018 Videos page was in dire need of some updates, and my phone storage was indeed begging for mercy.
The previously Spotify-Exclusive music video for Majid Jordan’s latest single “All Over You” is now available on YouTube for you viewing pleasure. If you like black-lit jellyfish, trippy animation, and a gyrating Majid Al Maskati crooning in the rain – then this is your video.
It’s finally here – Episode #358 of The Minimal Beat! Last Saturday, I was so graciously asked to stop by Chicago’s Lumpen Radio to curate a one-hour slot of tunes as guest DJ on The Minimal Beat, a weekly series featured exclusively on 105.5 WLPN-LP. The Minimal Beat is also Chicago-based blog showcasing relevant music with no genre-specific focus – cool, right? Listen to me ramble and discuss the local music scene, revisit some of my favorite concert memories, and so much more.
The Space Between – Released October 27, 2017 by Majid Jordan
The Space Between is a 47-minute continuous mix from OVO’s progressive-R&Bduo Majid Jordan, which depicts both a personal evolution of self and also a journey into theunknown, whether that be in or out of a relationship. Meant to be enjoyed in full without skipping any tracks, the follow-up to2016’s self-titled LP Majid Jordan is highly reminiscent of their earlier Soundcloudsongs and mixes (which were previously released under the moniker “GoodPeople”). On this new record, Jordan Ullman experiments with new sounds and Majid Al Maskati becomes one with his emotions, and the risks on the album’s production are ahuge step towards the future of R&B.
