Tea & Teles

Upon first meeting Miss Jordan, you get the impression that she won’t be easy to forget…

Aside from the supernatural red locks, her sophisticated and polite demeanor are not what one would anticipate from a Rock Star these days. Or any day, for that matter. Having been raised in Atlanta, this traditional Southern Belle displays an unexpected formality, but with a hint of sly darkness. “It’s the reason I drink Earl Grey while driving alongside psychopaths on the Atlanta highway. I should probably quit, though. The tea has become quite the crutch,” she says with a smile.

…It’s worth noting that she’s no stranger to delighting audiences with her wit and whimsy as well as her music.

Will she offer you a cup of tea…or a shot of whiskey?

Her debut album, Stereo Wonderland, only adds to the intrigue with its glamorous pop sensibilities over its hard-rocking vibes. Track 2, You’re So Money, sings about magically dancing through London…but with a chorus that makes Head-Bangers unite to heart-pounding rock ‘n’ roll drums and the distorted guitar riff. She’s not wrong when she rattles off, “…I’ll always stand out from the crowd!”

Track 3, on the other hand, Dangerous Curves, describes “…the elegant style on the back of his old-school ride,” and while a hopelessly romantic tale, it’s clear that the outlaw styling of this song is meant to be enjoyed with sunglasses and the wind blowing through the hair. So how does a woman weave everything we love about Pop with everything we love about Rock? While also in high heels?

Well, that’s the million-dollar question, isn’t it? And one she answers quite well with her album…

LJ has always been a fan of rich harmonies, loud guitars, and fashion, so it’s only natural that when she took the reins, she would honor this love by combining all three and get the “…drums and heads and hearts a-banging!” The opening track, Church of Rock ‘n’ Roll pays homage to this love with its no-holds-barred attitude towards harmonies and guitars! “I’m just as comfortable at a Gatsby Party as I am at a Heavy Metal Concert. Both require the proper shoes and jewelry!” she jests.

Vocally drawing comparisons to Stevie Nicks (Fleetwood Mac) and Taylor Momsen (The Pretty Reckless), LJ has a knack for penning memorable lyrics in catchy melodies with a refreshing juxtaposition over pedal-to-the-metal arena-rock stylings of screaming guitars, thumping bass lines, and booming drums. Add the layers of unique backing vocals she’s become known for, and you’ve got a recipe for (dare we coin a new genre?) …Roaring ’20s Glam Rock!

So, what is this self-proclaimed “Dreamer by Day, Rock Star-ress by Night” to do next?

Whip up more cinematic musical magic, of course! LJ is currently in works on her follow-up album with an expected release of 2025. “Everything fans loved about Stereo Wonderland will permeate the new album, but we’re cranking it all up a notch. One of the tenets of the Church of Rock ’n’ Roll is to ‘live your dreams in technicolor extremes’ and this new collection of songs is going to put that to the test!”

To give fans a taste of what was in store for them on the upcoming album, LJ released her single, Queen of Broken Hearts, on May 3, 2022. This track left fans “…turning curious heads” and spinning “…on this topsy-turvy ground,” for the adventures yet to come! And as an added bonus, LJ released a SECOND teaser track, The Boardwalk, on December 12, 2022, to help fans ring in the New Year on a high note. You’ll be “…spinning like a showgirl in 1922” with that one for sure!

But wait, there’s more!

As if that weren’t enough, LJ wanted to follow the amuse-bouche with a Special Edition EP entitled Memory Skips. This collection of cover songs spans 5 decades of musical magical fun, paying tribute to some of the Songwriters, Performers, and Glam Rock artists that inspired her…but with a special LJ twist! Miss Jordan jokingly says, “To be clear, it’s a twist of lime. This is my throw-the-gin-and-tonic-on-the-fire album!”

Releasing EVERYWHERE on February 12, 2024, this record is labeled as “a soundtrack for smashing cupcakes!”

because even the most sophisticated and glamorous of us deserve a spritz of lime and wild time on occasion!
