“Go To Me” by Jordan Klassen – Free Music Feature MP3

Nov 28, 2014 by Claire Rozario

“Go To Me” by Jordan Klassen is your free music feature today, and let me tell you, it’s good. Jordan was kind enough to submit his new single ‘Firing Squad’ to us last week and since then I haven’t been able to get enough to the boy. His Soundcloud is bubbling with chamber folk-pop music for you to sample, including the one he’s letting you take home for keeps.

Jordan Klassen is a songwriter from Western Canada (Vancouver, Calgary) who quietly released an EP entitled Kindness last year. After steady increases in accolades, radio play and live crowds, Jordan’s new full length Repentance will make a lot more noise. Is there such a thing as unsentimental sincerity? If so, this could be it. A resonate warmth carries Klassen’s crafted, literate lyrics through vivid images and stories. Repentance juxtaposes a multi-textured simplicity with a trembling confidence and a fresh familiarity. Playful and wise, vast and intimate, the album travels from the jubilant in “Go to Me” and “Piano Brother” to the quiet intensity of “The Horses are Stuck” and “Strengthen Me With Raisins.” These are songs that fuse melody and poetry, stinging the imagination and summoning forgotten emotion.
