Rochelle Jordan has been captivating audiences with her unique blend of R&B, dance and house music since 2014. Jordan gained prominence from her mixtapes, which were primarily 90s R&B reimagined with a futuristic lens. She has also collaborated with artists such as Kaytranada and Honey Dijon, which has further expanded her audience appeal. One of her most notable tracks, “Lover/Friend” with Kaytranada, is exceptional. The song combines a laid-back groove with high-energy vocals and smooth, spacey production, which makes it an amazing entry to the world of Rochelle Jordan.
Jordan has continued to push genre boundaries and refine her unique style. She describes her music as “Pop, centered in R&B, with dance and electronic elements.” This commitment is remarkable.
In an interview with Vogue, Charli XCX previewed a song from her new album, containing the lyrics “The dance floor is dead, so now we’re making rock music.” Jordan responded on X with a rallying message, saying, “It isn’t dead until WE say so.”
Across this album, songs cover a wide range of topics and feature an array of sonic variations. “The Boy” combines a mysterious house beat with distorted electronic synths, simultaneously telling a story about a lover whom Jordan hasn’t made up her mind on.
“Ladida” wastes no time and quickly builds a bouncy track, culminating in an infectious chorus repeating the song’s title. This song is a boisterous retelling of Jordan’s musical journey, including her musical beginnings, challenges she faced, and her personal accomplishments. Exemplative of Jordan’s genre-bending capabilities, it combines elements of psychedelia, Chicago house and funk.
Jordan continues to experiment with new genres and fusion mixes, while keeping her defining elements of dance and pop. “Get it Off” showcases a tantalizing combination of Neptunes-esque R&B vocals with modern electronic music, resulting in a fun, bubbly track that makes me involuntarily nod my head every time.
Jordan’s vocals are just the instrument needed to make her ambitious musical ideas work. Her vocal performance in “Bite the Bait” is truly impressive. She commands the upbeat, pulsing, U.K. garage influenced track with a melodic and powerful voice. Jordan continues to demonstrate her vocal expertise and artistry in “On 2 Something,” a song that recreates the vibe of a club or a crowded party. Her voice plays a percussive role on this track, serving as a source of stability and rhythm while melodic synths and bass thrive in the background.
Jordan has continued to be an integral voice in the electronic/dance/pop community since the release of this album. During her release tour for this album, her performances garnered attention due to her powerful and energetic stage presence. Jordan was also invited to perform on Good Morning America, and her album appeared in several articles highlighting the best releases of 2025. Today, “Through the Wall” has effectively cemented itself as an influential piece of the ever-evolving new wave of dance music, and I’m excited to see what Rochelle Jordan has in store for the future.
