Album Review: Jordana – I’m Doing Well, Thanks for Asking

Reflective lyrics and captivating production

American singer-songwriter Jordana recently released an EP, I’m Doing Well, Thanks for Asking. The six-song EP is short and sweet. Filled with electro-pop and indie-rock sounds, she draws the listener into her unique sound. Her lyrics are introspective and reflective. She sings honestly about themes of breakups, heartbreak and feeling lost. 

The first track on the album, “You’re in the Way,” is an introspective yet catchy song. She stands out with an indie-rock sound combined with her smooth vocal stylings and meditative lyrics. She sings about how nothing and no one truly changes. It is a mellow song with catchy guitar riffs and smooth harmonies that grabs the listener’s attentions and keeps them drawn in. 

The fourth track is called “SYT.” It is another introspective tune that takes on a more electro-pop sound with synthesizers and a wall of layered instrumentation. This song is far more upbeat with its electronics, distorted guitars and belting vocals. She demands someone to save their tears. She lets her attitude be known through her tone and demanding lyrics in the chorus but draws the listener back into her story telling during the verses. It is an impressive track that successfully combines genres.

The next track, “Is It Worth It Now?” also combines some indie-rock and electro-pop elements. She once again leads with a combination of synthesizers and distorted guitars. This combination not only creates a signature sound but also shows the different genres that inspire and influence her as an artist. The lyrics question whether something is worth it. They are full of imagery and reflection that show off her writing capabilities. 

The last song, “Careless Mistake,” ends the album on a melancholic and reflective note. She sings emotionally over a piano. The gentle piano allows her emotion-filled vocals and harmonies to draw the listener in and make her feelings more tangible. She wonders why she broke someone’s heart and treated them poorly. The song is full of regret yet it is also warm and reflective. 

Overall, Jordana’s most recent EP is an impressive collection of reflective lyrics accompanied by her emotional vocals and intriguing production.

I listen to every genre, but my favorite is indie-pop. I have studied and learned to play many different genres of guitar, from classical and rock to pop and indie. I also play piano and have begun to write music. In my free time, I enjoy exploring new and upcoming artists, photography, and writing music. I have attended Berklee College of Music, where I learned more about the music industry, guitar theory, music production, and songwriting. I also love to attend live music events and am often at The House of Blues in Boston checking out my favorite bands.
