A new era is dawning for Rochelle Jordan, as the British-Canadian singer prepares to release her first full-length project since 2021 with the upcoming album, Through the Wall, set to drop on September 26 via Empire. The announcement signals a significant moment in Jordan’s career, building on the momentum of her critically acclaimed previous work.
A New Chapter After ‘Play With the Changes’
Jordan’s forthcoming album, Through the Wall, serves as a follow-up to her 2021 release, Play With the Changes.

This new album promises to further solidify Jordan’s position as a rising force in contemporary music.
New Singles Offer a Glimpse into ‘Through the Wall’
The artist is already offering fans a taste of what’s to come. The album will include the recently released single, “Crave,” produced by renowned Chicago house music DJ Terry Hunter. Additionally, a brand new track, “TTW,” dropped today, with production credits going to Byron the Aquarius and KLSH.
“TTW” – A Personal Anthem of Resilience
In a recent statement, Jordan described “TTW” as more than just a song; it’s the album’s namesake and a deeply personal declaration. “This song, ‘TTW,’ is my album title track. It carries so much power to me. It’s magic. It’s hypnosis. It’s a mantra,” she explained.
The artist further elaborated on the song’s meaning, revealing it to be a powerful affirmation of self-belief and perseverance. “These lyrics are my self-talk when I’m affirming all the reasons why I stay so resilient,” she stated. “The truth of leaning into your purpose usually is a difficult and complicated journey…This song is a mantra for bussing through the dark walls of your own mind.” Jordan’s message resonates with a universal theme of overcoming obstacles and maintaining faith in one’s vision, encouraging listeners to “big up yourself always” and pursue their dreams with unwavering dedication.
Jordan’s commitment to her artistic journey, despite facing challenges and negativity, is a central theme of the new release. She concludes, “let them say what they want to, still here and coming with a bang each and every time.”
