Micah Oliphant | Staff Writer

Rochelle Jordan’s debut studio album gives way to a new generation of house music. Jordan’s 12 track album provides the audience with a captivating and cohesive mix of U.K. dance/electronic and Chicago house. The album experiments with emotions and feelings, both romantically and in terms of her art. It’s a great testament to how Rochelle has grown within the industry and how she has found her voice, especially in the opening track ‘Love You Good.’ Jordan expresses vulnerability and the longing for someone in songs like ‘All Along’ and ‘Next to You.’ The songs ‘Already’ and ‘Count It ’ are about Jordan declaring her independence, staying true to herself and not settling for just anyone. Jordan’s vocals, her ethereal tone and outstanding production make this work an easy listen.
