Textured, open, and studious Jordan Mackampa in 2023 is immersive and exuberant finally at a place of comfortability in himself and his output as a singer and songwriter. He’s quick to point out musical forebearers like Brandy — to him, Full Moon is a seminal body of work for many an R&B artist. Conversations in and around music from his perspective articulate his grip on the art form and ordained vocation within the sector.
Aptly titled Welcome Home, Kid! Jordan Mackampa intimately invites his emerging and existing fans to get acquainted with a 29-year-old deconstructed and at their most intimate on his sophomore album. The journey began last year in March, and then in November coveted figures such as Oak Felder and Sebastian Kole would eavesdrop on the album’s manifestation acting as informal advisories for Jordan, not just as musicians, but as guides and anchors of encouragement and perseverance on his new trajectory. “They’d tell me to trust my instincts, interrogate my feelings on why things don’t sound right, and comfortability on my songs and lyricism. They were both quintessential in my learning.”
Overall, Welcome Home, Kid! acts as a much-needed embrace for both Jordan Mackampa and listeners. Both nourishing in its musical depth and in examination of self, it reveals the context behind why Jordan is the artist he is and the person. Ultimately Mackampa provides a refreshing quintessential edition to 2024’s first quarter odeing the canons of funk, R&B, gospel, and soul in its ardently honest lyricism and in Jordan’s aptitude for using his voice as the vast instrument that it is. “This project is one I want people to feel, it’s a project I want to show myself on,” he shares earnestly. Luckily for him, Welcome Home, Kid! is a potent leap into the light. https://www.jordanmackampa.com
+ Nectar Woode: From the joyful musical roots of her Ghanaian heritage, to the raw storytelling of singers like 🎟 that first piqued her interest as a teen, to the supportive South London community that she’s found a home in more recent years, there’s one thing that connects the musical jigsaw of 24-year-old Nectar Woode: honesty.
“I like things where, when you strip it down, someone is genuinely trying to convey an emotion with their music. With West African music, you can hear that so clearly with the rhythm and the songwriting, and then I do like my indie side-with Joni Mitchell that quality is so obvious too,” she explains. “I remember so vividly the moment I wanted to be a songwriter as my profession. I was 15 and there was a video on YouTube of Lauryn Hill’s MTV Unplugged and it’s just her with an acoustic guitar, chatting. I just watched it and cried.”
