Jordan Mackampa Unveils Heart-Wrenching Ballad "MARY" from Upcoming Album Welcome Home, Kid!

Prepare to be moved as soul sensation Jordan Mackampa releases his latest single, "MARY," offering a soul-stirring glimpse into his highly anticipated forthcoming album, Welcome Home, Kid! The stripped-back ballad places Jordan's awe-inspiring vocals at the forefront, creating an emotionally charged space as he lays bare his soul in a last-ditch prayer to mend a fractured love.

With a sound rich and soulful, "MARY" stands as a timeless classic, poised to become the anthem for the tumultuous journey of breakups and makeups in today's world. The track joins the ranks of the old-school R&B-inspired "I'VE FOUND MY HOME IN YOU" and the introspective "PROUD OF YOU," all featured on Jordan's upcoming record.

"PROUD OF YOU" marked a standout return for the soul star, earning the title of BBC Introducing’s Tune of the Week, and garnering support from Radio 1 personalities Clara Amfo and Jack Saunders.

Welcome Home, Kid! sees Jordan Mackampa returning to his roots in R&B, soul, funk, and gospel, drawing inspiration from legends like Dru Hill and Blackstreet. The album represents a bold and brazen statement from the artist, embracing and proudly showcasing his Blackness, queerness, and sexual expression. Jordan's journey to this point has been marked by decades of growth, patience, and grueling lessons, and now he stands as an artist unafraid to delve into the complexities and beauty of the Black experience.

The album unfolds as a narrative of self-worth, exploring stories of complex but beautiful perspectives about the Black experience. Jordan opens up about themes ranging from sex, intimacy, imposter syndrome to navigating healthy love, toxic heartbreak, friendships, and forgiveness.

Following the success of his debut album Foreigner in March 2020 and the subsequent EP Come Around in 2021, Jordan Mackampa has been making waves collaborating with Jords, Che Lingo, and blackwave. His live performances, including headlining the Introducing Stage at Radio 1 Big Weekend, have captivated audiences, and he's set to embark on an epic UK tour in 2024.
