Jordan Rakei has had quite a successful career over the last decade, and it doesn’t look like he’ll stop anytime soon. Following his 2021 album, What We Call Life, the New Zealand-Australian musician is now gearing up to release his fifth studio album, The Loop, on May 10. This will be his first project after signing with Verve Forecast and Decca UK.
As a little preview of what’s to come in The Loop, Jordan Rakei has already released two singles, ‘Flowers’ and ‘Freedom.’ The former, is a beautiful love song dedicated to Jordan’s wife; and the latter is, as the title implies, a song about freedom. When asked about the subject, the singer said that to him, “[…] freedom is the absence of dread or sadness, and the ability to embrace happiness in life.”
And to celebrate this new phase of his career and the new album, Jordan Rakei is going on tour through Europe and the UK. Tickets will go on sale on February 2, and you can check out the full list of dates for the tour below:
