Stronger [edit]
by Jor'dan Armstrong | Genre: Rap/Urban | Release Date: September 25, 2012
 

Jor’Dan Armstrong’s highly anticipated new album, “Stronger,” which will be released in the summer of 2012. The entire album stands as a narrative of a yearning for a closer relationship with God and a deeper understanding of life and spirituality. Despite the serious and relevant nature of the subjects discussed on the album, Armstrong’s music is still presented in a youthful, soulful and spirited manner. This is evident with the leaked single, “Swag,” which was released in August 2011. The song immediately gained support from program directors, DJ’s and numerous record pools throughout the country.

Stronger Musical Appeal | Posted October 08, 2012
When listening to Jor'Dan Armstrong, it is easy to realize that this guy could be in the mainstream competing with the likes of Trey Songz, Miguel, Usher, etc. He is a definite urban Gospel artist who is making waves.  He may be new to some, but his new release, Stronger, is actually his second full-length album. He also released the mixtape, Jesus, Beats, and Fashion. He produced the majority of the album along with the help of partner, Tedy P and Psylence. 
 
"What You're Made Of" is a pop/electronic song that speaks of how God steps in and shows Himself strong in dire situations. Impressive are Armstrong's vocals and his placements of the airy subtle backing vocals. He has serious "riding" music such as the banger, "I'm Down" feat. Canton Jones, Jai and Dee-1. 
 
"Stay Clean" is a song that makes you want to nod your head, but do not expect something very spiritually deep. It is about staying clean of the things of the world, but also doing things in excellence. 
 
A great aspect of Armstrong's music that stands out is the fact that he is very in tune with the type of music is popular and grabbing the ears of the youth.  "So In Love" is an uptempo techno song  where he speaks of his great love for God. This is a great song for working out and one that can get a crowd hyped up. "Love If You Wanna" feat. Psylence stays in the same vein, but includes hints of dubstep. 
 
One of my favorite tracks is "Hearts Don't Lie." Why? Is it the nice synth rhythms melded with the light beat? Is it the lyrics speaking of God asking for our hearts? All of the above--check it out! He combines his urban flair with reggae to make a mix titled, "Tropicana"--a little ditty about thanking God for his blessings. He slows things down a bit to bring the song of worship, "Hands." He smoothly croons between his tenor voice and crisp falsetto tone. 
 
Closing Thoughts: 
Some may get annoyed about the few songs that include vocal effects and autotune. Don't get it twisted. Jor'Dan Armstrong has a voice that doesn't need neither element. However, he is a young artist that is looking to reach the youth for Christ. So he uses music and the "sound" of today's generation. No, Stronger is not an album that we would call a "classic," but it is one to take notice of. Buy it. Give it to someone who loves urban music. Buy yourself a copy and watch yourself be drawn in to the sounds of this album.
