Shedding the old for a new, Majid Jordan return with ‘Good People’. After a two-year hiatus - a matured rendering of the singer-producer duad remerge, showcasing their rebellious dexterity as sound mavericks but this time with nothing to prove.
Stripping back the glitzy features, fellow Canadian and OVO’s Naomi Sharon is only to appear, offering her syrupy vocals on their ‘Waiting For You’. Navigating the shadows of their past soundscape, the pair remodel their signature in an authentic rebirth of their previous neo-R&B fusion ballads. Written between Torotono and Bahrain, this newest release is an assured outline of the decade-long passage - as we meet Majid Jordan anew in their reflection, graduating the pair to a new league all their own.
The secret sauce to Drake’s ‘Hold On We’re Going Home’ - one among many other buzzy and more conspicuous hits, the burning angst of before is replaced with perspective and intimacy, the mystique instead recouped for vulnerability from the artists. “There’s an uplifting message on the album about focusing on love, and sending that out into the world,” says Al Maskati, “Being patient and knowing that something better is waiting for you, always. It’s about having that faith despite not knowing anything.”
An arguable showpiece in the pair's brim catalog, admirers can snag an opportunity to catch Majid Jordan's Good People live. Kicking off in Vancouver on Nov 26th; the tour is hitting cities across North America, the UK, and the EU.
