Geo Jordan - Revive (2026) Hi Res

Geo Jordan is, somehow, one of the UK's best-kept and most multifaceted musical secrets, but this year he steps out into his own light with a sublime debut on Aus Music. The openly trans-artist has spent many years working in the shadows as a studio collaborator, band member and songwriter with the likes of alt-soul outfit The Hics and renowned artists like Bas, Amaarae, Ego Ella May and Doja Cat on her Grammy-nominated Planet Her album. He has also been a core live member of Jungle for their last two album campaigns and worked as a Musical Director for notable UK live acts including JGrrey and Jack Garratt, all while self-releasing his own club-centric sounds. His considerable production chops yielded an impressive sample pack in 2022 with WhoSampled, and have won him plenty of award nominations.

EP Opener 'Busy Mind' has Jordan's confessional, candid vocals front and centre. His smooth tones echo neo-soul boy Jordan Rakei with woozy pads and sketchy beats, making a gentle but persuasive groove. 'Keep On Running' is a more bubbly sound that pairs lo-fi textures and fluid synths with a sense of easy optimism, again anchored with Jordan's own beautiful vocals. 'Tease' turns inwards with organic broken beats, dusty percussion and a light touch that suspends you amid pensive pads and wispy neon hues. 'I Try To Forget' has swing and swagger to spare, but like everything here, restraint and subtlety are key. The rousing 'Waiting' spins out on deft jungle rhythms with heartbroken melodies adding a bittersweet finish, then closer 'Accelerate' marks dancefloor take off with frenzied drumming, bluesy guitar motifs and spectral synths that carry Jordan's empowering refrains to new heights.
