A guide to Rochelle Jordan’s best songs

The simmering hit off of Rochelle’s latest, Through The Wall. This uptempo house cut bounces and slides, and shows off Rochelle’s smooth-toned raps, and soaring vocals on the song’s deliciously singsong chorus, “Ladida / Ladi-yeah.”

Another steamy, dance-ready cut from TTW. If a doctor could prescribe an antidote to disconnection, it would probably be this song.

A slinky half-time swirl and an ode to giving in to desire. Rochelle has become synonymous with bouncy BPM emotionality, but “Bite The Bait” shows that her disco ball still glistens when she slows things down.

Another romantic slow burn, this one off of Rochelle’s initial breakout, 2014’s 1021. 2010s hip hop drum production meets Janette-esque harmony stacks for a song that is best listened to beside candle light.

A dangerously danceable track from Rochelle’s 2021 album, Play With The Changes. The synth stabs and percussively dense drum production give the beat a jumpy joy that pairs perfectly with Rochelle’s confessional and melodious vocals. It also features one of her most memorable lines: “Elephant in the room / But we’re still dancing.”

A list of Rochelle Jordan songs wouldn’t be complete without mention of Canadian super-producer, KAYTANADA, who’s been a frequent collaborator (and champion) of Rochelle’s. “Spit It Out” off of KAYTRANADA’s 2024 album, TIMELESS, shows off both artists’ strengths, with KAYTRANADA’s recognizable drum production and patchwork sample craftsmanship, and Rochelle’s vocal timelessness.

Another KAYTRA/Rochelle heater. This one thumps at the heavy rhythm of a breaking heart. The bass is buoyant, the drums knock and Rochelle’s falsetto is as light as love can feel. Her lyrics. though, are filled with the evocative details and captivating storytelling.
