Sari Jordan Releases Dreamy New Album, 'Sing to the Moon'

New Orleans, LA (October 13, 2023) - Rising Alternative Pop artist, Sari Jordan launches her highly-anticipated EP ‘Sing to the Moon’ on Friday, October 13th. The light and uplifting 4-track collection is a bubbly wonderland that explores notions of self-discovery, healing, unrequited love, introspection, and closure. Jordan gifts listeners with a well-crafted collection of songs and stories that reach the soul.

Compiled of songs that were written between 2021 and 2022, ‘Sing to the Moon’ is the byproduct of Sari Jordan’s journey - a delicate balancing act between schooling, working, and pursuing musical aspirations. This album plunges into the complexities of human emotions, signifying a significant chapter in Jordan’s growth and evolution as an artist.

‘Sing to the Moon’ appeals to a musical palate that is vulnerable, light-hearted, honest, and soulful. Jordan’s Norah Jones-esque vocals are seamlessly complemented by a modern take on jazz-pop instrumentals that run throughout this record. Jordan’s “learning-through-doing” approach to artistry not only applies to her recording process for this album but also shines through in lyrical themes. Jordan sings about cycles of conflict, healing, and closure - all intertwined in a reflection of the past. The Alt-Pop singer hopes listeners can resonate with the feelings related to growing pains and being scared to flourish. Jordan shines through as a standout up-and-coming artist both artistically and spiritually with the picture she has painted in this release. 

Each track on the album encapsulates a distinct emotion and storytelling style, making it a captivating journey from start to finish. Jordan’s experience as a live performer in New Orleans shines through with dynamic live band arrangements and the gentle yet commanding presence she forges. 

Track 01 - “Daydreams” - A dreamy, wistful, defensive lament inspired by bedroom jazz and Broadway. Yearning, with an emotive melody. Inspired by a stubborn crush. Influenced by Eloise, Bruno Major, Billie Eilish, and Broadway.

Track 02 - “Ceasefire!” - Modern and eclectic. Comforting and expansive. A song that is, at its climax, dark and tense, but cathartic in its resolve and release. Ethereal background vocals bring the song back down to an earthier place once it lifts off. Sounds inspired by psychedelic rock, neo-soul, and Broadway. It has a distinct and dynamic live band sound and arrangement. 

Track 03 - “Sing To The Moon” - A spirited, sentimental love letter is sent to New Orleans within the lyrics, arrangement, and instrumentation of this track. Inspired by traditional (“trad”) jazz styles. 

Track 04 - “Deep End” - A vocal-heavy, sad-girl Americana take on a 2023 synth ballad. Sounds like a breakup cry. Even though electronic elements are at the forefront of this song, this is one of the earthier tracks on the record. Inspired by Maggie Rogers, Phoebe Bridgers, Becca Stevens, and Andrew Bird.

Known for a voice that oscillates from smoky-sweet soft to big-hearted belt and back again, New Jersey-born vocalist, songwriter, and musician Sari Jordan (they/she) spends their days and nights loving and learning down in New Orleans.

The sensitive, silly-goose songstress first decamped to the Crescent City for college in 2018, and soon set off on a whirlwind romance with the great American songbook. The local culture coalesced with a lifelong love for theater, soul, and alternative indie/psych rock, each deeply rooted in the city Sari now calls home.

Characterized by raw honesty and playful boldness, Sari’s voice commandeers ears with a confident, stated presence. Debut EP ‘Sing To The Moon’ (due Fall 2023) features a tasting menu of original music essentially ripped from diary entries over the past couple of years. The project is an amalgamation of Sari’s kaleidoscopic influences, embodying elements of Lianne La Havas, Phoebe Bridgers, Billie Holiday, Nai Palm of Hiatus Kaiyote, and Billie Eilish, in a succulent gumbo with Sari’s own gossamer, angelic style.
