Jordan Patterson

“All of these songs hurt. This EP was an amalgamation of all these streams of consciousness that I, for the first time, really was sorting through to make it more concise. I wanted it to feel heavy and light at the same time.” Born in North Carolina and raised in the San Fernando Valley, Jordan Patterson has always operated from a place of radical honesty. Her debut album, The Hermit – a deeply personal document of solitude and self-examination that landed on The Fader‘s Top 50 Records of 2025 – announced her as one of the most distinctive new voices in recent memory. The 24-year-old singer, songwriter, and producer has already been hailed as “a generational talent” by Spotify and shared the stage with Cameron Winter. What really marks Patterson as an exceptional talent, however, is her totally uninhibited artistic expression and a piercing earnestness that defines her sonic palette. Songs from a Valley Girl, her latest EP and first release on Secretly Canadian, is what comes next: smaller in scope, more concentrated in feeling, and somehow even more unmistakably hers.
