Recorded between Toronto and Bahrain, the album reflects the diverse influences that have shaped their journey, delivering a narrative of love, origins, and growth. Described as their most personal project yet, Good People uses rich, atmospheric sounds to evoke a deep connection with listeners.

About Majid Jordan

From making music in their college dorm to global recognition, Majid Al-Maskati and Jordan Ullman have redefined the R&B scene as Majid Jordan. Their journey kicked off with the 2013 EP Afterhours, a project that not only captivated dance music enthusiasts but also caught the ear of OVO Sound's Noah “40” Shebib. Signing to the Toronto-based label set the stage for their meteoric rise, including co-writing and co-producing Drake’s 6x-platinum smash “Hold On, We’re Going Home.”

Over the years, Majid Jordan have carved out their own sonic space, blending moody R&B with house and pop influences to craft a sound that’s uniquely theirs. Fast forward to 2023, a decade after Afterhours, the duo paid tribute to their roots with their latest release, “Good People”—a nod to the moniker they used in their early days.

With their highly anticipated return, Majid Jordan is back, ready to push boundaries and deliver music that feels just as good as it sounds. The new era is here, and it’s nothing short of explosive.
