The Portsmouth-based artist continues to impress with each release.
Counting Easy Life, Hak Baker, and Rex Orange County among his influences, Portsmouth-based singer, rapper, and producer extraordinaire Jordan Duke has consistently found ways to stand out in a crowded industry. With a tongue-in-cheek, witty lyrical style that endeared him to worldwide audiences, Duke stays grounded and humble. A lover of music at heart, Duke’s drive to succeed is palpable in every release he puts out, and if he keeps it up, he’ll be a star in no time.
One fantastic thing about Duke is that he’s always about the journey. Having played festivals across the UK (Including the Isle of Wight Festival and Victorious Festival), Duke met great people, rocked numerous stages, and elevated his artistic ability, all while having fun and doing what he loves. As he says, “Once you become content with life, everything else is just playing, right?” It’s always fascinating to see what can happen in the span of a year, but fast-forward to that period of time, and the level of artistic evolution Duke has engineered for himself is nothing short of remarkable.
Duke’s new release, “Shout About,” features funky, relaxing instrumentals and is the perfect release to get you into the groove. As Duke says, “It’s two versions of myself a year apart,” and introspective lyrics like “I’ll take one step back a deep breath as I get my bearings roughly / different man from a year ago I’m aware of it trust me” definitely lend an introspective feel to this release. It’s Duke at his best: mellow instrumentals combined with a meaningful, thoughtful lyricism and razor-sharp cadence. We can’t wait to see what he’s going to do next.
