Sydney-based musician Jordan F has created a vintage style of synth-driven electronic music which is instantly recognisable.
Opening with a funk-laden ‘80s beat, his new single ‘Without You (ft. Gryff)’ instantly grabs the listener’s attention. The retro tune sounds as if it’s been ripped directly from the soundtrack of Stranger Things, Drive or Blade Runner.
Jordan joined forces with QLD swooner Gryff for the song, who brings a vocal delivery reminiscent of a blue light disco in the summer of 1988.
The artist said he wanted ‘Without You (ft. Gryff)’ to complement a scene to an ‘80s heartbreak movie that existed in his head.
“It’s about letting go and just being happy and confident with yourself
“I approached Gryff with a finished instrumental and he came back with all the lyrics and recordings… His Phil Colins and David Bowie inspired vocals really transformed the track into an upbeat state of euphoria,” Jordan added.
This tune is part of his upcoming fourth album Memory Collision.
