Lauded Bay Area Songstress Jordan Hurwitz Readies Her Third Release "Here I'll Stand" Produced By Legendary Narada Michael Walden on Tarpan Records
This brand new release features six original songs written by Jordan and produced and arranged by the legendary Narada Michael Walden on his label, Tarpan Records.
- (1888PressRelease) May 27, 2015 - Redwood City, CA - Jordan Hurwitz, an American singer/songwriter born and raised in Redwood City, California, is announcing the release of her new EP, Here I'll Stand, digitally and physically worldwide on June 23rd, 2015.
Here I'll Stand is Jordan's third release, and her first with Narada. "Working with Narada is an incomparable and invaluable experience," she says. "His talent and artistry take my music to a whole new dimension and continue to be nothing less than amazing."
When asked about working with Jordan, Narada says: "If you love Billy Joel, his chord changes and his melodies, if you love Broadway, if you love Lady Gaga and her dramatic sense of theatrics in music, Jordan brings a lot of that to her music. She is a wonderful keyboard player and singer, who is humble and has a lot of heart and care, and she is very powerful…"
Jordan released her first album of original songs, Infinity, at age 16, and hasn't stopped writing or performing since. Her songs are an outlet that speak to the challenges people face in their everyday lives, providing an opportunity to empower everyone to rise above.
Jordan uses her lyrics as a way to work through the trials and tribulations of growing up. "A finished song always brings resolution to my internal conflicts," she notes. "The problems themselves sometimes never change, but my actions and perspectives do. Every song I've ever written carries the motif of being broken and finding the strength to rise above. Often, before I create the song I don't have this strength, but the empowering lyrics play on repeat in my head until they become reality."
"I would be nothing without my lyrics. My songwriting is who I am."
Infinity, which debuted in 2013, was followed with her EP, The New Me, produced by Marcus Barone in 2014. Jordan's musical expertise began with piano lessons at age six, and has evolved to include drums, voice training, and guitar, all of which she now uses to accompany her songwriting. "Empowering myself with song was life-changing in itself, but that doesn't even compare to the feeling deriving from other people relating to my songs. It gives me comfort to know that the issues I face are faced by other people, and it gives me a sense of pride realizing that with my music, I can help them feel better about themselves as well."
She appreciates and is influenced by artists from many genres of music, including Billy Joel, Sara Bareilles, Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith, and Kelly Clarkson.
Jordan will be attending University of Miami's Frost School of Music beginning in the Fall of 2015. "I am so excited to go to Frost. It's my dream school: the perfect place to continue my music education and work towards my long-term goals of being a professional singer/songwriter."
Her Here I'll Stand EP will be available in stores and online June 23rd, 2015. Jordan plans to showcase her talents in assorted venues across the US over the next few months to support the new release.
