Jordan Fisher Wants To Re-Introduce The Root of Soul on His EP
Jordan Fisher shows off his oh-so-charming smile during his visit at AOL Build in New York City on Tuesday (July 19).
The 22-year-old “All About Us” singer and actor sat down to dish about his music. Just last month, Jordan told them all about his upcoming EP.
“Everybody is a little different. You can grow up listening to the same artists I grew up listening to and the way they influence your music is entirely subjective. It’s all dependent on the entire record you’re creating and what you’re trying to interpret through your music and how you do that through your lyrics and melody,” he shared about the musical influences you’ll hear on the EP. “I grew up listening to Lionel Richie, Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Prince, Usher, 98 Degrees, Boyz II Men, literally anything. I even listened to Rascal Flatts and Faith Hill.”
Jordan added, “But the guys and girls who really did this for me were those who revolutionized pop and soul. To me, that was the root of vocal performance and that’s where the direction of my record was concerned. My mission was to take what I grew up listening to and figuring out a way to modernize it and turn it into something that could work with 2016 radio, but also pay homage to those greats. It was to really reintroduce the root of soul and R&B but in a pop format to my generation. That’s definitely something you hear on each song on the record so I’m excited to share that with people.”
FYI: Jordan wore a Triton ring.
