The sound of
Play With the Changes, the new album from Los Angeles-based singer Rochelle Jordan, was inspired by two sources: UK rave culture of the 1990s and 2000s, which she absorbed when visiting her British-Jamaican family members in London, and her older brotherâs tape collection, which consisted of, âgospel, soulful dance, Sounds of Blackness,â Jordan recalls. âAnd he would play them so wickedly loud.â OnÂ
Changesâwhich, like her previous releases, Jordan recorded in her bedroomâshe consciously drew on the voices, melodies, and sounds that made her fall in love with music in the first place. The decision was not without its considerations. âI went back and forth with myself a bit in the making of this project,â Jordan says, âbecause I didnât want to alienate any of my fans, or make them feel that I was dismissive of my roots in R&B.â
