Jordan Clark dreams up artistic funk on ‘Path Forked Years Ago.’ Jordan’s brand of soulful serenading, energetic bounce, and an almost Prince-like (whose unfortunate and untimely passing comes a shock to all) demeanor are instrumental in rebooting a neo-soul energy that translates to modern age music. ‘Path Forked Years Ago’ is a cinematic experience; A visual journey of self-exploration amassed by groovy leisure suits, piercing vocals, cryptically-ghoulish extras, and a musical aura that denotes retrospect and new-age all in the same breath. ‘Path Forked Years Ago’ is about finding yourself. It’s about taking risk and dealing with internal struggle on personal and artistic fronts alike. The video is a figurative (and at the 1:09 mark, a literal) prism that intertwines ingenious writing and unorthodox concepts to make a piece of art that showcases Jordan’s talent as a songwriter, demonstrating his endless reach for pioneering originality. The frames wind you through what seems like a visual purgatory, transitioning from a ghastly scene in the woods (internal struggle and actualization) to an abandoned train, (peace) and ultimately to the afore mentioned prism shot. (Where ultra-bright contacts, live instruments, and a beautiful dancer culminate) ‘Path Forked Years Ago’ is a direct reflection of the DC crooner’s objective; Blending the best of both the musical and art worlds to offer up something authentic. Something real. ‘Path Forked Years Ago’ allows us to look inside and choose, but for Jordan, the path seems to be already chosen for him.
