JORDAN RUDESS - Embers (OFFICIAL AUDIO)

The track features Jordan alongside renowned drummer @DarbyTodd (Devin Townsend, The Darkness) & vocalist @ThatJoePayne as well as a guest guitar solo by Bastian Martinez @B_A_X_T_Y.

Jordan comments: “EMBERS, the starting spark of my upcoming album, sets the tone for my latest solo musical journey. Originally created for Moises' innovative platform, this track captures a mellower vibe, different from the rest of the album's progressive tunes. For those prog heads out there, never fear, this album runs the gamut of my musical expression and you will get your polymeters and Snarling Pigs. The inspiration for creating this track coincided with a project I was asked to do for the app, Moises, a technology that can turn standard audio files into separate tracks while also showing chords, lyrics and more. I hope you enjoy listening to Embers and, if you are inspired to add your own musical collaboration on this tune, check it out on Moises.”

Jordan adds on the forthcoming album: “I knew I was going to have some time off after the last Dream Theater tour ended. Enough time to, hopefully, complete a new solo album. I wanted this album to push me to evolve a new compositional perspective. So, this album is my inaugural voyage into crafting a solo album with a dedicated vocalist in mind. Joe Payne's vocals inspired me from the first time I heard him and drummer, Darby Todd, has infused each track with his distinctive style. I'm also stepping into uncharted instrumental territory, playing guitar on a few tracks. Another first, my daughter, Ariana, has penned all the lyrics for this album. We’ve worked closely together, ensuring that each lyric weaves a story and allows Joe's beautiful voice to soar. Proud Dad here. All around this album is a testament to collaboration and personal growth.”

Jordan recently made his live debut with Darby Todd & That Joe Payne, with two rapturously received sets on the 2024 edition of Cruise To The Edge, also marking the live premiere of the new single ‘Embers’.

I'm still listening this song, so beautiful ❤❤❤

[zinAab]

I love how the keyboards are in service of the song and not the opposite

[insignificantaftermathPROJECTS]

Big up the singer Joe Payne putting Northampton on the map.

[BingsBuddery]

Chorus changes and accompanying vocal melody is fantastic.. has a very filmic feel.. I could see this being an epic closer to somebody's art film.

[YarisTex]

I’m addicted to this song. Beautiful melodies, great vocals and deeply moving poetic lyrics.

Thank you for this, Jordan

[alessandro]

2:37 amazing solo🤘🔥
been following that guy for a while, he's indeed amazing player.

[baronnir]

I love that lush reverb on the piano, it places it at the back of the mix and it's great. Never heard JR mixed like that.

[AtomizedSound]

I’m excited for the full album, Jordan!

[Pekins_]

When I first started listening I thought it was the singer from Circus Maximus, such a nice and mellow voice, very very very pleasant.

[wrought]

Great composition, so much perfect. We're not worthy! 🎶🛐

[RoyZivMusic]

Beautiful song Jordan! Love the progression

[JMBlocks]

A fresh take on those 'wired for madness' ethereal progressions and sounds.

[weddingwiththewhitedove]

Very cool. Like Orchestral maneuvers in the dark

[vinniciusrosa]

Your song is like a walk through a beautiful and green park during the golden sun after the rain.

[CharlesRBiggs]

Simply magical! Beautiful chord progressions.

[CharlesSoulzOfficial]

Beautiful tune! The tree in the video reminded me of your keyboard stand.

[JustBreathe]

I don't know why but I was just captivated by this song, the lyrics was embellished so good, I downloaded the app Moises and I saw this there and I haven't let it finished because I was so intrigued by it and so I went to YouTube and here I am listening to this song and I let it finished because it sounds great.🎶

[ianbrown]

Any album on the must buy list. JP & JR a winning combo.

[yamashitashinya]

Have never checked Rudess' s solo but what a blast! Beautiful song!
