Toronto’s Rochelle Jordan hit my radar last year with her excellent tribute/remake of Aaliyah’s “Are You That Somebody.” For 2012, she’s returned with a full-length, cogent piece of work entitled Pressure. Jordan has a low-key, airy voice that’s perfect for the down-tempo production she’s supplied with. You’ll definitely hear a big Timbaland/Aaliyah influence on Pressure. There isn’t an abundance of traditional ballads, but the album does have a mellow feel. However, it possesses enough upbeat arrangements to function at home, in the car, or even in a club/lounge setting.
