With "Origin", Jordan Rakei has broadened his ambitions and is more confident in how he realizes them. Deep, intimate, and exuberant all at once, the singer-songwriter's third album gets straight to the point, in every sense of the word. The melodies are brighter, the sound is more imposing, and the vision behind it is refined. He lets himself be inhabited by the classical songwriting and musicality of his heroes Stevie Wonder and Steely Dan, constantly surprising us with the grace of his harmonious work, continuously finding a way to bring the same natural swing and generosity that captivated him when listening to A Tribe Called Quest, Pete Rock, or 9th Wonder.
