She’s writing and recording her new album right now, and Jordin says she’s not sure of the release date, but the label is thinking September.

    @MJ – what application, plugin, service do you use for streaming these audios in WP? It’s great!

    I like the sound of “Faith,” even with the trite lyrics. The soft voice and piano is a good sound for her. “Let it Rain” is pretty generic. “Walking on Snow” would be a decent choice for a single. I don’t like “Paper Cut” much at all.

  • ordinarygirl09

    I kind like the second one.

  • ordinarygirl09

    oops i mean the first one

  • leome

    My favorite was Faith too. It sounds pretty and I like her voice there. Kinda of reminds me of something that would play on Grey’s Anatomy.

    The last two were my least favorite.

  • widz

    I like “Faith” – she sounds a bit like Alicia Keys here..Hee.

    Oooh “Let it Rain” sounds good – she didn’t have this kind of song on her first album, it’s great to hear something like this from Jordin.

    “Walking on Snow” – Agree with MJ, very hooky. I like it!

    Paper Cut – not my fave, okay.

  • yeahyeahsure

    Walking On Snow sounds like a hit to me. Paper Cut is way too Big Girls Don’t Cry to me.

  • SL

    One thing about Jordin is she always surprises me. I always find myself liking her songs more than I thought I would.

    I think ‘Let it Rain’ could be a hit. ‘Walking on Snow’ reminds me of an Imogen Heap song; I really love it.

  • serenade

    Now I’m looking forward to Jordin’s sophomore album. I like her songs, especially the first three. I’m in a mood tonight so Faith got to me. Both Let It Rain and Walking On Snow could be potential singles.

  • bjames

    papercut is kind of my favorite of the 4, but i like faith a lot too.

  • Lu

    Wow. Sure seems quick to be talking about a second cd!

  • weareallinnocent

    ^^Lu, that was my first reaction too! Oh well, good for Jordin, I wish her much success~

  • Tess

    2 years between CDs….sounds like a good span to me. And this time she’s had some time to work on it and make the sound hers….not the Producers.

    I really like Jordin and think she’ll have a nice long career. Hope someday to hear a duet from her and David Archuleta.

    2 years between CDsà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦.sounds like a good span to me.

    Just seemed quick to me – especially since her stuff on her current cd is still getting good airplay. I was comparing to the AI5 crop since those are the ones i’ve followed the closest and most are just now having their second cds hit. Anyhoo, I like Jordin a lot and wish her good luck. :)

  • Michelle

    I like these clips! Sounds a little more grown up compared to the songs on the first album. Good for Jordin!

  • CRB

    I think her voice sounds very rough and I wonder about the condition of her vocal chords.
