Meeanjin/Brisbane-based R&B artist Jordan Briton has just served up his smooth new single, “Satellite.” He was inspired to write this song after reconnecting with his roots and getting to know someone new.
“In early 2025, I booked a solo trip to the Philippines, somewhere I hadn’t been since I was a child,” Jordan recalled. “After my most successful single to date, the awards still felt empty. I realised I’d been pursuing music to show people how high I could climb rather than enjoying the journey for myself. While visiting my Lola and Lolo, I met a local singer-songwriter. Because we were both artists, I connected with her in ways I hadn’t felt before. I’d never pursued a long-distance relationship before, but I knew I’d regret not trying. ‘Satellite’ captures that genuine yearning of ‘if only’ put to music.”
If you’re into “Satellite,” you’ll be happy to know there’s a lot more new music on the way. This is the first of six singles Jordan plans to release before he drops his debut album Slow Burn in November.
