Though it’s getting colder in Canada (sigh, winter is coming), Vancouver-based artist Cyrus Jordan is turning up the heat with his new single “Not My Flavour (Anymore).” Jordan is well-versed in the world of bass, playing both stand-up and electric, and his commitment to groove shows in his first formal experiment in creating house music (and thank goodness because it’s about time we get up and dance after a long week!) Reminiscent of 90s neo-soul, Jordan tackles the timeless theme of heartbreak with a gentle touch, while making “Not My Flavour (Anymore)” bouncy, vibrant and wholly his own.
Press release:
Vancouver based artist Cyrus Jordan releases his first foray into house music with the single “Not My Flavour (Anymore).” As a bassist (stand up and electric!) Jordan creates bodacious vibrations that groove with influences from D'Angelo, Channel Tres, Devonte Hynes.
Jordan works closely with members of beloved group Schwey and has come into his sound through previous single ”Stretch” with drums by Alex Bingham of Winona Forever.
“Not My Flavour (Anymore)” offers dreamy, nostalgic energy as Jordan recognizes that he is no longer in a healthy relationship. The track is spacious but groovy, as warm synths and tasty bass lines weave around Jordan’s soft vocal. The track is inviting and an exciting glimpse into Jordan’s versatile musical vocabulary.
As Jordan says: “the track was an older song that I wrote on an old piano on Salt Spring Island while I was in a relationship I realized wasn't healthy for me anymore. It was one of the most fluid songwriting experiences I’ve ever had and it transformed really well into a produced track."
Stayed tuned for more of Cyrus Jordan’s grooves, he will be releasing many more tracks and videos in the coming months.
