I have everything I could ever ask for and more and I still find myself chasing something more. I never want to settle for less than I believe I deserve but I also want to be content with where I’m at and what I have. That feeling is what inspired ‘Runaway Heart.’ It’s kind of a song to myself, trying to remember to slow down, enjoy where I’m at without settling into complacency.”

And more than anything, his voice remains tried and true, unique enough to stand firmly on its own.”

Jordan also released “Outskirts Of Grace,” which was described by Sounds Like Nashville as a “heavenly track”and “redemptive standout” that “puts Jordan’s commanding sandpaper vocal at the pulpit and backs it with a soul-stirring blast of gospel rock, adding up to a transformative anthem.”
