Trans Rocker Jordan Maye Releases Bonfire-Ready Single “Embers of The Learning Man”
Boston via Atlanta trans rocker Jordan Maye’s (she/her) new primal single “Embers of the Learning Man” is out today.
Magnet Magazine writes that Maye is a “considerable talent on piano… Sometimes you try, but you just can’t move on. That’s the basic point behind Jordan Maye’s ‘Embers Of The Learning Man.’ But it’s more complicated than that—and so is Maye.”
Listen to “Embers of the Learning Man”
“Embers Of The Learning Man” sparks vivid imagery of dancing shadows behind flames, floating cinders and ash.
It’s a percussion-heavy bonfire song about learning from mistakes and the pain we all suffer. It vibes with ‘60s classic rock psychedelia as she toys with themes of ancient elemental wisdom and time. “Oh the embers they burn / All the bridges you’ve earned / I rebuild, lord I try / I’ve no time to learn,” she sings.
Maye isn’t afraid of big guitars and even bigger vocals on her debut album Creation of Jordan Maye (out Aug. 23).
Her lyrical honesty, depth and profound imagery is a portal into what she’s lived through in her 21 short years: mental health challenges, being a full time student at Berklee College of Music, going through the process of transitioning, all the while navigating relationships with family, lovers and friends. Through all of this, she’s had a prolific year of writing, recording and releasing songs.
