A few seconds of acoustic guitar to wait before the delicate voice of Jordan Popky lands on the melody of "Untitled Drug Song", his latest single released last July.
And only 38 seconds before a powerful chorus slips into your ears, accompanied by wonderful vocal harmonies. We have often told you on IMC, we have worked in radio, and when the programmers discover a chorus like this before the 40-second mark, there is a 90% chance that they will decide to play the song. By the way, speaking of the vocal harmonies, those of this song are one of its strengths. Performed with five voices: Jordan is accompanied by Trophy Wife, Giselle, Adam Tilzer and... Paola Bennet. Yes, it's true that Paola Bennet hasn't been featured on IMC yet, but almost. Since she is none other than the girlfriend of Elijah Mann! We keep telling you, that this world of indie music is both infinitely vast as there are beautiful songs to discover and infinitely small when you realize that the best artists... work and rub shoulders with the best artists.
About "Untitled Drug Song", Jordan Popky says it's "a warm, gentle indie folk song about not judging yourself for how you get to tomorrow". And it's successful because the poetry and the precision of the writing blend wonderfully with the soft melody, raised and highlighted by a pretty bass line and marvelous strings.
The Brooklyn-based artist wields her impressive vocal range to perfection, and she blew us away with the emotional intensity she is able to put into every note she sings. The song ends with a capella vocal harmonies, and leaves us a little speechless, as if still amazed at what we have just heard. Was it real?
