May 22nd, 2026 – Singer-songwriter Jordan Susanto officially continues the journey toward his second album ‘Million Different Reasons’, set for release on the 17th of July, with the arrival of his latest double single, “Nervous” and “Such a Shame”.

Following the release of album opener “Death of Me” earlier this year, the two new tracks further introduce the emotional and sonic direction of the upcoming project — one that explores vulnerability, connection, self-reflection, and the many forms of love that shape everyday life.
Inspired by legendary artists such as Prince, James Brown, and Michael Jackson, “Nervous” leans heavily into funk and soul influences, pairing lively grooves with a more playful musical approach. “For me, it’s not about replicating a sound from an old era, but finding the most honest way to translate what I felt when I wrote this song,” Jordan explains.
Meanwhile, Jordan describes “Such a Shame” as a sister track to “Nervous”, both musically and thematically. Together, the songs celebrate emotional openness and challenge the idea of staying detached to appear “cool”. To capture a more organic sound, Jordan recorded the rhythm section live alongside his band, The Soul & Rollers, embracing spontaneous interaction and the dynamic energy often found in classic soul and funk recordings.
“I see that the current generation is starting to not be too afraid to look ‘cringe,’ not afraid to care,” he says. “I hope the next generation will grow up in environments that are more welcoming of their emotions”.
Jordan Susanto – “Nervous”
Compared to his self-titled debut album, ‘Million Different Reasons’ marks a significant evolution for Jordan, both sonically and emotionally. Taking a simpler and more intuitive approach, the project embraces looser arrangements, minimal editing, and the rawness of real recorded moments.
Ironically, Jordan admits the new album feels “more ‘Jordan’” than his debut ever did.
With “Death of Me,” “Nervous,” and “Such a Shame,” Jordan gradually pieces together the emotional thread of ‘Million Different Reasons’, a record that reflects on relationships, friendship, anxiety, longing, self-love, and the countless reasons behind the way people feel and move through life.
“‘Love’ feels too narrow to describe all of it,” Jordan concludes. “There are a million different reasons behind the way we feel and live life”.
