ACL 2026: Rochelle Jordan

 Saturday at 2pm.  According to Wikipedia:

Rochelle Jordan is a British-Jamaican singer raised primarily in Toronto, Canada. Her music is known for its blend of alternative R&B, dance-pop, and house.

She's 36 and has had a quite a journey to get to ACL.  Following a bad record deal and complications from sickle cell anemia she took a 7 year hiatus from the industry. After that she released her second album in 2021 and her third in 2025.  That album,  Through the Wall was shortlisted for the 2026 Polaris Music Prize, and the song "The Boy" was longlisted for the SOCAN Polaris Song Prize.

"Doing It Too" is off that new album. 

Here is a live performance on KEXP from 2022 where she plays songs off her 2nd album. Dance oriented tunes.

This is the song that was longlisted for the SOCAN Polaris Song Prize.
