/ /, , /

Toronto-based pop artist, Allegra Jordyn, has just released her new single “Leading U On.” The chill, acoustic-based pop song talks about the trials and tribulations of being uncertain in a relationship and feeling that you might be leading the other person on. “As I contemplate whether this is a relationship I want to go back to,” Jordyn starts. “I find myself accidentally leading them on with all my uncertainty.” Her new single “Leading U On” is available to download and stream on all digital platforms worldwide.

“Leading U On” comforts listeners who may be dealing with a similar situation. “I love how it has so much honesty and emotion, but with such a chill, nonchalant sound,” Jordyn explains. The “chill, nonchalant sound” is one of the main aspects of the track partnered with raw and brutally honest lyricism. The alt-pop sound that she is making herself known for is combined with an acoustic pop melody, making it one of her more unique releases. “Leading U On” was co-written by Jordyn, alongside her longtime producer, Chris Grey. The partnership has proven to work well together based on their previous and current collaborations, mastering the talent of creating a relatable, crowd-friendly, anthemic song. “Leading U On” marks the third single ahead of Allegra Jordyn’s EP, Take It From Me, I Know, out October 29, 2021.

Growing up with many different musical influences, Allegra Jordyn was able to curate her own style of music with elements from different genres. Her alternative, electro-pop sound draws inspiration from artists such as Lana Del Rey and Billie Eilish, yet her songwriting inspiration comes from the likes of John Lennon and Stevie Nicks. In addition to music, she has always found herself writing as a creative outlet, whether that be through poems or scripts. She jokes about being a perfectionist when it comes to her writing and precision, “I probably write my lyrics out 100 times before I record them.” Jordyn has received praise from Lock Magazine, Pop Wrapped, Canadian Beats, Female Magazine, and more.

“Leading U On” is a relatable and heartfelt turn for Allegra Jordyn’s music and one that will draw in new fans instantly. The acoustic offering stays true to her alt-pop sound, while exhibiting raw, genuine emotions and maintaining a brilliant balance. Fans can pre-order her upcoming EP now and stream “Leading U On” on all digital music platforms.

Pop Artist Allegra Jordyn Releases Single and Video For “Numb”

/ /, , , , , /

Toronto pop artist Allegra Jordyn has released her glowing new single, “Numb.” Despite the seemingly melancholy title, Jordyn’s new track delivers lively brilliance with her strong, cogent vocals, coupled with an opulent backtrack. With a nostalgic drum beat reminiscent of hit 80s pop tracks, this single will appeal to those looking for an incredibly danceable song that holds deep emotional value. “Numb” is available now for streaming and download on all digital platforms, while a music video for the track may be viewed on YouTube.

Produced by Chris Grey, “Numb” pulls in listeners with an engaging piano progression leading to an upbeat drum and guitar chorus, complete with reverb that makes listeners feel like the song’s main character. In the chorus, Allegra Jordyn belts out her struggles of entertaining herself with nightlife to prevent the voices in her head from taking over, muting them “with the sound of the drums.” “‘Numb’ is what I like to call my anti-party anthem, and I think the video actively shows this,” she explains when elaborating on her single. “I wrote it at a time where I was suffering mentally but refused to let myself become numb to deal with my problems like people around me would do.”

Due to the strict COVID restrictions in Canada, Allegra Jordyn opted for a two-person crew during the shoot. The music video was shot, produced, and edited by Jordyn and Grey. It is illuminated by scenes of blue and pink tones, creating an ambient backcast to the video. The video shows her at an empty party surrounded by balloons and empty cups, showcasing her lyrics perfectly; “I spend every lonely weekend in private to stop myself from going numb.” Jordyn is also seen staring into an old TV as if looking for an answer from something that will only deliver blank static.

After growing up listening to classic rock artists, Allegra Jordyn acquired a profound respect for this legacy. Before writing lyrics and melodies, poems and short stories were her creative outlets. As a songwriter, her narrative arc is precise. She imagines, polishes, and revises her words until she has accurately crafted a story from start to finish. “I probably write my lyrics out 100 times before I record them,” she jokes. Having made music from her early teens on, she says the suite of songs reflects a new chapter in her creativity. Her music utilizes deep sonic layers – spectral keyboards, inventive drum samples, and a chorus of voices.

“Numb” marks the first single from Allegra Jordyn’s upcoming EP, Take It From Me, I Know. This beat-heavy track brings swooping build-ups and robustly alluring vocals, drawing in those who long for a nostalgic and emotional listening experience. “Numb” is now available for streaming and download on all platforms. Watch the video on her YouTube channel. Fans can visit her online at AllegraJordyn.com or follow her on socials @AllegraJordyn.
