Next Up: Jordan L'Oreal

Every few years, an artist emerges who doesn’t just make music—you feel like they’re reading your diary. Jordan L’Oreal is that kind of artist. With the release of her haunting debut single “Pretty Little Liars,” out May 2 via the iconic Tamla Records, the GRAMMY Award-winning songwriter steps boldly into the spotlight. After years writing hits for names like Zendaya, Lecrae, and Chloe x Halle, Jordan is finally telling her own story—and she isn’t holding anything back. Her music blends R&B, alternative pop, and soul with razor-sharp honesty that doesn’t flinch from emotional depth.

“Pretty Little Liars” is more than a breakup song—it’s a cinematic confession. Drawing from personal heartbreak and cultural influences like The Joker and the Pretty Little Liars series, the track explores the fragile masks we wear in love and the lies we cling to for comfort. Set against stripped-back acoustic strums and a slow-burn beat, Jordan’s vocals hover between fierce and fragile. The hook—“Don’t go swimming if the lake’s on fire”—cuts with the precision of someone who’s lived through the wreckage and is still standing, wiser and louder.

The song’s accompanying music video, premiering May 16, deepens that message with surreal, haunting visuals. Through distorted reflections, eerie beauty, and raw performance, Jordan peels back the curated image of perfection to reveal the cracks beneath. She doesn’t just sing about vulnerability—she embodies it. The video, like the song, explores identity, deception, and the bravery it takes to face yourself without the mask.

This is more than a single—it’s a statement. Jordan L’Oreal’s solo era is a creative rebirth. With Pretty Little Liars, she invites the world to see her fully—and dares us to do the same. If this debut is any sign, Jordan isn’t just a new voice—she’s a necessary one.
