Jordana - Lively Premonition

‘Lively Premonition’ is an album full of surprises by an artist fully embracing their rich and varied musicality. Jordana has always been a supremely gifted songwriter, but this album sees her taking that talent to the next level. This record sounds like a classic. An intensely musical work from the very first note through the ballsy violin solo that adorns ‘We Get By’ to the vibe shift to funky dance pop in the middle with the old-time rave-up of ‘Multitudes Of Mystery’ to the heart stopping ballads that conclude the album, every facet of Jordana’s artistry is working to peak effect.

The best thing about ‘Lively Premonition’, though, is nothing feels forced or shoehorned in. Jordana has reached a new creative plane purely through embracing the whimsical and the organic giving the album a hugely relatable and empathetic texture. Everyone can relate to songs about how amazing dogs are and how fun it was partying as a teenager as well as dealing with a broken heart but Jordana does it with flair and vivid imagery to make it feel fresh. A record that evokes the past in a blissfully optimistic future.
