I. JORDAN Announces ‘I AM JORDAN.’ The artist's debut album

I. JORDAN will release their debut album, I AM JORDAN on May 10th via Ninja Tune. Says The electronic producer, “This album is about joy. It’s about my joy as a trans person, and trans joy generally, working with trans people, making all this fun music together.” The album features the artist’s decade of experience as a DJ and producer.

The artist has collaborated with Fred Again.., Planningtorock and SHERELLE, remix work with Fever Ray, Romy and Eliza Roze, and a handful of well received EPs.

Ahead of the album’s arrival, I. JORDAN has shared lead single “Real Hot n Naughty” features a vocal contribution from Sex Education actor and performer Felix Mufti, who has danced for Jordan at Glastonbury and Homobloc. Now friends, the two collaborated on “Real Hot n Naughty”, a queer dance track full of Scouse raps and endless charm.

“A large part of the reason why Felix and I instantly bonded is because of our queer working-class backgrounds, and our pride around that as well,” Jordan says. “Our aim with this track is to make a real queer northern dance anthem. A lot of working-class, northern humour is ‘things are a bit shit, but whatever. We’ll take the piss”.

The pair performed it together in an unplanned moment at the sold-out ‘I. JORDAN & Friends’ at Corsica Studios, a party with a majority trans lineup (Felix Mufti, Planningtorock, Romy, Sister Zo, FAFF, and Tee). There, Jordan was able to see a crowd that reflected their experiences.
