A hugely talented singer and songwriter, and a natural live performer, David Jordan is putting a fresh and exciting new slant on British pop by incorporating searing rock guitars, throbbing party rhythms, memorable melodies and the spirit of "the greats" who inspired him as he was growing up (from James Brown, Jimi Hendrix, Cab Calloway to Guns n' Roses, Prince and Lenny Kravitz). As his Trevor Horn-produced debut album suggests, he'll 'Set The Mood' for you a little...

The power of David's music stems from his vivid imagination: you can hear it in unfettered, boundary-breaking songs such as debut single 'Place In My Heart', where his aversion to society's petty rules and regulations is laid bare over a creamy, agile pop-soul backing that builds magnificently to a rocking crescendo; you can hear it in the touching lullaby 'Sweet Prince', where the arrival of his sister's first baby finds him contemplating the miracle of new life; and you can hear it as he runs through the gamut of joyous and painful emotions in the gospel-influenced ballad 'Only Living Soul' and the heavier, pulsating 'Sun Goes Down'.

Ex-Starbucks employee Jordan's soulful singer-songwriter debut album was produced by the legendary Trevor Horn (Art of Noise, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, ABC, Seal), although he was initially talent spotted by his wife. A childhood acquaintance of Amy Winehouse, the Londoner's SET THE MOOD (2007) featured the effervescent UK top ten single "Sun Goes Down".
