Marc Jordan, Living in Marina Del Ray and Other Stories

By Corinna Callsen

It sounds like Sting. Maybe a little less creative and more for easy listening in the background than for intense music enjoyment. But hey, it is very enjoyable. Jordan has a good voice and his album Living in Martina del Rey and Other Stories is a “best of” collection of his songs, which he wrote himself. Using piano, guitar, bass and percussion, Jordan’s soft pop-rock album does not bear any sudden changes and might get somewhat monotonous after 17 songs in the same style. Still, it is worth listening to the guy from Toronto if you like good, homemade music.
