Award-winning songstress and rapper Jourdan Jade returns with a sumptuous new R&B-rap jam dubbed “Crossroads” featuring LaRussell.

The voice alone is enough to make you fall in love! & That’s not considering her flow, delivery, and cadence. Jourdan Jade is an award-winning singer, songwriter, and rapper whose knack for infectious flows and innovative beats has won her over a tremendous fanbase that can’t get enough of her—and why should they? She is one of those artists whose delivery is crisp and deliberate, punctuated with moments of unexpected syncopation and rhythmic surprises that keep listeners hooked. She also has a competence for balancing complexity with accessibility, using layered metaphors, sharp punchlines, and vivid imagery such that her every verse feels like a poem, dense with meaning yet easy to feel.

“Crossroads” is one of those jams that is effortlessly likeable. The very opening notes register in your mind like something you’ve listened to before but is still brand new to you. The beats have a nostalgic R&B appeal to them—mellow and infectious, setting an ideal backdrop for the vocal prowess both Jourdan Jade and LaRussell unleash.

The guest artist LaRussel sets the foundation with his sweet-sounding vocals and cadence. If no one has ever told him before, he comes off like a seamless blend of August Alsina and a subtle Meek Mill. In that spirit of giving him his flowers, he really does a commendable job and contributes to the memorable appeal of the jam.

With the foundation sufficiently laid, Jourdan steps in like the boss, her flows and cadence just too good, flowing like water over this mellifluent foundation with such a conversational tone it feels like she is speaking right into you. Her delivery is warm yet sharp and easily morphs to reflect the mood of the song, feeling like an extension of the music itself, and that is what I love about this jam.

If you were looking for a sign for good R&B-hip-hop music that has replay value, “Crossroads” is it.

Stream the jam below, follow Jourdan Jade everywhere, and be glad that you got to meet her. She’s the real deal!
