The melodies are brighter, the sound is ': ,: bigger and the vision behind it more finely-tuned. Switching up :, : from the highly personal and intimate portrait he painted with : :' 2017's "Wallflower", which was a way of grappling with his ': ,: experience of anxiety and introversion, "Origin" is overtly :, : inspired by dystopian visions of our future - notably Charlie : :' Brooker's Black Mirror, Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale ': ,: and David Lynch's Twin Peaks. "I'm worried that we're losing a :, : sense of connection," explains Jordan, with many of the album : :' lyrics exploring technological growth, and how it affects our ': ,: sense of humanity. For example, new single 'Say Something' is :, : "about speaking up for what you believe in", a call to arms for : :' future humans to stand up against the AI systems which govern a ': ,: now-dystopian world. It follows recent single 'Mind's Eye', :, : which envisions a future world where malfunctioning tech : :' implanted in the human body has flooded the users mind with ': ,: projections of chaos. He meditates daily, something he adopted :, : partly in response to his issues with anxiety, and something : :' which has shaped his worldview and informed his writing and ': ,: production process. :, : : :' Since signing to Ninja Tune and releasing "Wallflower", Jordan ': ,: Rakei has stamped his authority as a preternaturally talented :, : songwriter, producer and live performer and cemented his : :' worldwide rep as a modern soul icon in the making. New ': ,: Zealand-born and Brisbane-raised, Jordan settled in London in :, : 2015 and quickly found himself in a network of like-minded : :' individuals, forming friendships that have spawned many ': ,: professional collaborations. He is part of the "Are We Live" :, : crew with Tom Misch, Barney Artist and Alfa Mist, who put on : :' gigs, record podcasts and make music together, and Jordan has ': ,: written, produced and performed on four tracks for Loyle :, : Carner's new album (including recent single 'Ottolenghi' and : :' 'Loose Ends' feat. Jorja Smith). He has also found the same ': ,: passion for experimentation and rhythm in frequent collaborator :, : Richard Spaven (drummer and don of the British jazz scene who : :' has collaborated with Flying Lotus, Jose James and Mala). ': ,: Likewise, in the founder of the dance party and label Rhythm :, : Section - Bradley Zero - who released Jordan's "Joy, Ease, : :' Lightness" EP under the pseudonym Dan Kye in 2016. Simon Green ': ,: aka Bonobo also included an exclusive Dan Kye track on his :, : recent "Fabric presents Bonobo" DJ mix, having previously : :' invited Jordan to perform alongside him at Alexandra Palace in ': ,: 2018. Beyond the London scene too, there is no doubt that the :, : depth and craftsmanship of Jordan's music is turning heads : :' worldwide. He recently joined Chic co-founder Nile Rodgers in ': ,: the studio for a writing session and, following his show at Cape :, : Town Jazz Festival last year, Jordan came off stage to find : :' Robert Glasper and Terrace Martin (producer for Kendrick Lamar, ': ,: Snoop Dogg and Herbie Hancock) waiting in the wings to commend :, : him for his performance, with Martin wasting no time in inviting : :' him out to LA to record together in his studio. ': ,: :, : On "Origin", Rakei has scaled up his ambitions, and is more : :' confident in the way he goes about achieving them. Making ': ,: tracks that speak more confidently, in brighter colours, and :, : which deal with something bigger than himself. He channeled the : :' classic songwriting and musicality of his heroes Stevie Wonder ': ,: and Steely Dan, striving to surprise and delight with the form :, : of his work, and always infusing it with the same effortless : :' swing and human feel that he fell in love with listening to A ': ,: Tribe Called Quest, Pete Rock and 9th Wonder. :, : : :' ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / Shout out to all our homies from: \ / \ / \ / \ / iPC BOSS HiT2000 1way UKi i8 RNS \ / \ / RAGEMP3 MANDY DV8 pLAN9 BUTT \ / \ / \ / \/ ____ ____ \/ \ / F A N G \ / \/ 2 0 1 9 \/
