OUT NOW: New single "Not Your Dream Girl" from powerhouse singer-songwriter Jordan Duffy
Jordan Duffy is a singer, songwriter, producer, and senior audio engineer whose sound stretches across a multitude of genres such as indie, pop, americana, and alternative. The artist is influenced by the likes of Adele, Lake Street Dive, Yola, and Charlie XCX, to name a few. Originally from Worcester, Massachusetts, she began her music career writing songs about heart breaks in dive bars, female empowerment, exploding toads, one night stands, and zombie lovers. At 18 years old, her first professional show was opening for The Allman Brothers Band guitarist Dickie Betts. It was in college when she discovered her 4 octave range while studying and performing Opera. She continued her education and landed her role as the first female audio engineer at Earwolf/Stitcher Podcasts. There she has had the opportunity to sing to Weird Al Yankovic, do her own rendition of “Total Eclipse of the Fart” on “The Office Ladies”, and is the vocalist for the “Just Between Us” Podcast theme song. You may even recognize her (and her laugh) as Engineer Jordan from the “Best Friends” podcast.
Her new single "Not Your Dream Girl" was written while watching the movie Sixteen Candles. Jordan Duffy thought, ‘what if these John Hughes movies didn’t have a happy ending, what would a song like that sound like?’. The video's storyline, thought up by the Painfully Creative Production team, showcases an alien spying on Jordan being denied by her high school crush, later that alien pretends to be the high school crush to win Jordan over! Using "If You Were Here" by the Thompson Twins as their inspiration, producer Party Nails and Jordan Duffy create a modern ‘80s synth sad pop song that you can’t stop dancing to. She shares, "This song is written about a friend that I had feelings for, but I knew it would not go any further. I always saw him as my Jake Ryan. He does not and will never know this was written about him. But it has become one of my favorite songs I’ve ever written."
