I. JORDAN announces their debut album, I AM JORDAN

“This album is about joy”, Jordan says. “It’s about my joy as a trans person, and trans joy generally, working with trans people, making all this fun music together.”

Following collaborative tracks with Fred Again.., Planningtorock and SHERELLE, remix work with Fever Ray, Romy and Eliza Roze, "Real Hot n Naughty" features a vocal contribution from Sex Education actor and performer Felix Mufti. “A large part of the reason why Felix and I instantly bonded is because of our queer working-class backgrounds, and our pride around that as well,” Jordan says. “Our aim with this track is to make a real queer northern dance anthem. A lot of working-class, northern humour is ‘things are a bit shit, but whatever. We’ll take the piss”.

“We had the idea of doing the video in a bingo hall as it connected to our upbringing and spaces we spent a lot of time in when we were growing up” Jordan adds, “Sprucing them up and reclaiming them to be full of queer and trans joy felt important and symbolic to me as it connected two important parts of my identity that aren’t often merged together. We wanted to make something fun, cute and cheeky and fuck all the tories”.

Despite being self-titled, I AM JORDAN is a product of its community, as Jordan explains. “Everyone is interconnected, and the idea of being an individual is a bit of a myth…I wouldn’t be who I am without everyone else around me. My friends, especially friends who have supported me through all the transition stuff, my trans friends that I’ve relied on, Reddit groupchats - it’s all so important. In the trans community, none of us do this on our own.”
