Known for having co-produced Dabeull's tracks Don't Forget It & Last Night ; Jordan Lee presents his debut solo album "Fighter for Love".
In a world on the brink of apocalypse, love has vanished. A young man sets off alone on the road. He meets a woman. At first, caught in the chaos of the world’s end, she’s stuck in a conflicted relationship. But in the midst of these false battles, something awakens in her.
Love?
Fighter for Love is the debut album by Jordan Lee – and it’s a wonder. Composer, lyricist, performer, producer, and mixer, Jordan Lee mirrors the hero of his story: determined to do whatever it takes to make his dream come true. With the boldness to take on the notoriously risky format of the concept album, he delivers a funky neo-soul gem that soothes the soul and makes the body move. And when this post-apocalyptic road movie ends, you’ll want to dive back in immediately.
From the first track, Jordan Lee sets the tone: a voiceover layered over strings and the sound of the wind. He begins to tell us a story – a universal one. An initiatory journey. There will be an encounter, of course. Then clarity, questions, and maybe, at the end of the road, love.
Speaking of encounters, In Between Feelings, a duet with Holybrune, is the third track and the album’s first single. The voices of Jordan Lee and Holybrune, like their characters, are so distant, yet so close. Driven by a hypnotic bassline, their meeting explores indecision, commitment, and priorities.
The theme of the album: a couple is made up of three people – you, me, and us.
To let each listener feel their own emotion and tell their own story, Jordan Lee dares to break the rhythm, to use silences and pauses, all while maintaining a beautiful, flowing coherence throughout.
Just like there are feel-good movies, this is feel-good music: you smile, the scenery rolls by outside the window... Naturally, your mind wanders – you think about yourself, a loved one (past, present, or future), you reflect, you imagine, you question yourself.
The Eastern rhythms of Rear-View Mirror, finished off with a tambourine reminiscent of New Hollywood, invite a moment of pause. Then the eternal bassline, funky guitar, and neo-soul layers of Blazing a Sun (the album’s second single) come together to celebrate the idea of commitment through reinvention. To bring this vision to life, Jordan Lee calls on his idols – the legendary masters – from James Brown and John Coltrane to George Benson, Prince, and Michael Jackson.
Double spoiler alert: for those dreaming of a naïvely happy ending, Fighter for Love offers instead a gentle bitterness, reminiscent of Damien Chazelle’s La La Land.
The album closes with a nostalgic note, Permanent Mark, ending in a beautiful blend of flute and the sounds of children playing.
This is the paradoxical state we’re left in at the end of Fighter for Love – a joyful melancholy, or perhaps a hopeful sadness. For Jordan Lee, albums are films, and tracks are sequences – harmonious tracking shots in a musical journey.
We’re like children in the backseat of our parents’ car, heading off on vacation: listening to music, watching the world go by, feeling at peace – creating memories that will last a lifetime.
