Majid Jordan to release new album 'The Space Between'
Toronto duo Majid Jordan have announced that they will release their second full-length album, The Space Between, on Friday October 27, 2017. The announcement follows on from the release of a new single off the album – ‘My Imagination’ featuring DVSN.
Throughout 2017, Majid Al Maskati and Jordan Ullman have quietly paved the way for the album’s release. In addition to ‘My Imagination’ featuring DVSN, The Space Between includes the buzzing hit ‘One I Want’ feat. Partynextdoor, which has amassed over 17.6 million Spotify streams and counting as well as 3.8 million YouTube views, while also garneringfeatures from High Snobiety, The Fader, Billboard, and more. Beyond these entrancing and enigmatic anthems, the record also includes the 2017 single ‘Phases.’
The Space Between follows on from the duo’s 2016 self-titled debut, Majid Jordan, which boasted the singles ‘Something About You’ and ‘Make It Work’, along with fan favourite ‘My Love’ which featured an appearance from OVO Sound label boss Drake.
The Bahrain-born Majid and Canadian Jordan linked up while attending the University of Toronto in 2011. Working between Ullman’s dorm room and his parent’s basement, they started recording under the name GOOD People. Their chemistry yielded a powerful dynamic with Jordan handling instrumentation and production and Majid assuming mic duties. “We both have two younger sisters,” says Majid. “In a sense, we each assume the role of the brother we never had. That’s what makes this so special: the brotherhood we share.”
Producer Noah “40” Shebib heard their music on Soundcloud in 2013 and invited them to meet him and Drake. Soon after, the duo inked a deal with OVO Sound/Warner Bros. Records. Majid Jordan then featured on and co-produced Drake’s triple-platinum #1 hit ‘Hold On, We’re Going Home’ from Nothing Was The Same. Their next collaboration with the hip-hop superstar was ‘Mine’ for Beyoncé’s self-titled fifth album.
