2022 was a highly creative year for Jordan Jones, with the releases of Stumble and Flawless, so when we heard that the rising star was kicking off 2023 with the brand new, Sabotage, we couldn’t wait to experience it!
Enticing us with a luscious guitar riff, Jordan Jones opens Sabotage with a quintessential pop vocal as he emotively sings, “Built these walls, and I put up these shelves, to hold my stories and sabotage myself…”
We are immediately drawn in by the exquisite vocal design as the opus expands into a vibrant contemporary pop energy. Jordan shares his soul with poetic depth and a dimensional soundscape. We can always count out Jordan Jones to deliver something deep and unique, and Sabotage is no exception.
The segments with the down pitched prechoruses result in a dynamic sonic experience before we are hit with an anthemic chorus. Speaking on the release, Jordan Jones confesses, “Sabotage is a high energy fun pop song about being triggered in a relationship and wanting to leave.”
The rising artist from Edmonton, Canada continues, “The real story behind the song is the battle with the self we have when triggered because of stories and walls we’ve built to block ourselves from getting hurt. Holding on to these walls and stories often have a byproduct of self-sabotage.”
“Thats what this song is for me. It’s the battle I was going through internally when my relationship hit the two year mark and we were questioning if our core values and relationship goals lined up. I was fighting with should I say fuck it, walk away, and Sabotage myself because I was afraid to really dig deep and address what was blocking me from opening up fully. Or put in the work and break through the stories I tell my self. I chose to walk away in Sabotage which made me see through the bullshit I was telling myself. Writing this song helped remind me that putting in the work is always the better path”, elaborates the star as he shares his heart and spirit through the vibrant medium of pop.
We learn that Jordan Jones takes influence from artists including 6LACK, Justin Bieber, Tate McRae, The Weekend, Halsey, Pink, Ed Sheeran, Jon Vinyl, Lucky Daye, H.E.R., Khalid, and dvsn to name a few, but the authenticity that he exudes with his work shows that Jordan is on his own unique trajectory. Sabotage has been added to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream Jordan Jones‘ wider discography and anticipate future releases from the talented artist.
