Best Damn Day

The Jordan

Cooking Vinyl

WE SAY

With tinges of late-night Portishead-esq trip hop echoing through this modern pop reimagining, Best Damn Day is the latest single from The Jordan. We introduced you last month to the latest musical project of Dutch singer and songwriter Caroline Van der Leeuw (Caro Emerald) last month with the cinematic and gorgeous opening track from her debut album, Nowhere Near The Sky. Released on Friday, Best Damn Day is “a personal anthem of freedom” and we think would make an excellent addition to Radio 2 playlists, as well as self empowerment contextual playlists at DSPs. From the tracks, we’ve heard so far and knowing that David Kosten (Everything Everything, Chris Martin) and Eg White (Florence + The Machine, Sam Smith) have worked on the production side, we can’t wait to hear the rest of the album and reckon it will be something special. She recently made her live debut with a sold-out show at Bitterzoet in Amsterdam. No news of a London show yet, but hopefully, there will be a show around the album release in February.
