Jordan Bratton

We previewed a couple of Jordan Bratton's tunes late last year ("The Grey" and "Danger 3") in anticipation of his thrilling debut album, The Grey Area. Released in December, the album can best be described as modern R&B with touches of electronic, classic soul, and indie pop. The album deals with many themes, including heartbreak and addiction, showcasing not only Bratton's talent as a songwriter, but his Frank Ocean-like croon.While it's hard to choose a favorite track, album opener "Shakespeare (Intro)" is a good place to start, drawing you into Bratton's world, with its 80s synths and bubbling bass line. Then there's Bratton's super soulful vocals, possessing a nostalgic charm that's pure magic.Listen to The Grey Area in full here.
