Jordan D. Mitchell is a musical savant that hails from the town of Stockton, CA. He just let loose a jarring and intelligent collection of tunes called I’ll Apologize Later. This official debut record was written, produced, mixed, and mastered all by Jordan himself. Drawing inspiration from his collegiate experiences moving from Stockton to Santa Barbara, the project naturally flows from light to dark. The tracks detail both his frustrations with people and himself, as well as the fun and exciting moments. As a true student of music, Mitchell’s album veritably showcases his diverse history performing, conducting, and producing music.
During the tough times he was moving to Santa Barbara, Jordan D. Mitchell was extremely ill in addition to adjusting to a new place and new people. I’ll Apologize Later does a great job at pulling back the curtain on a lot of dark and troubling subject matter.
At the same time, you’ll find bouncy and twitchy production on a few cuts that remind you of a rap album. Otherwise, you could deem this album as an avant-garde exploration into several genres, with hip-hop as the rock. Production on the album varies from large and full, to stripped-down and raw.
