The second half of the album features two standout tracks, Been Through That and Life Worth Living, where the lyrics come down to earth and reflect on lifeвЂ™s hurdles and tough times. вЂњWe wanted to make each song stand alone so that everybody had their favourite song for their own reason.вЂќ вЂњEvery song should almost sound like that moment where you just wake up from the dream and itвЂ™s a brand-new start, a brand-new idea,вЂќ he explains. Ullman says the approach was intentional вЂ“ the experience should feel like jumping from one dream to another. Indeed, unlike The Space Between, which was designed to sound seamless as one song transitioned into the next, Wildest Dreams takes listeners on a journey where each track has its own identity, reflecting a stylistically diverse album. Majid Jordan show that they can still slow things down, though, with the sensual title track and the acoustic ballad Forget About The Party. Their pal Drake turns up on Stars Align, his feature vocal turn better than anything from his own recent Certified Lover Boy. Throughout the recordвЂ™s first few tracks, including Dancing on a Dream, Summer Rain and Waves of Blue, Al MaskatiвЂ™s metaphors paint a starry-eyed picture of love. With pandemic restrictions loosening, it makes sense then that the album offers an uplifting eightiesвЂ™ synth-pop soundscape. He and Al Maskati wanted to release the album at a time when they could get back onstage to connect with fans.

вЂњI think you really get to the core of who you are and what you want to do when youвЂ™re isolated вЂ“ when all the distractions, all the shows and all the travelling comes to a stop,вЂќ Ullman says. The time off, however, proved to be a fruitful period to focus on a new album. With the onset of the pandemic, the duo took an extended break, with no releases between 2019 single Superstar and this yearвЂ™s Billboard-charting track Waves of Blue. вЂњBeyond music, weвЂ™re so tied now вЂ“ our families, our friends, our communities.вЂќ

Looking back on a decade together, the duo says their personal bond has always preceded their professional relationship вЂ“ they always knew they wanted to work together вЂњregardless of whether that was going to make us massive or unknown,вЂќ Al Maskati says. вЂњWe make music all the time вЂ“ whether itвЂ™s together, whether itвЂ™s writing on the guitar and producing instrumentals.вЂќ вЂњWe were making music with no plan in mind,вЂќ Al Maskati says. The key to their sound is how spontaneous and flexible they are when it comes to production, often transforming their hotel-room surroundings into makeshift studios вЂ“ just as they did back in university. вЂњWe want to give people comfort that might not be present in their life,вЂќ Ullman says in an interview. Combining UllmanвЂ™s groovy synths with Al MaskatiвЂ™s honest, introspective lyricism, their tracks are perfect to accompany late-night drives вЂ“ or make you want to dance. Majid Jordan are recognized for a sonic experience thatвЂ™s both retro and futuristic at the same time.

It comes four years after their last record, The Space Between, and explores themes of aspired and realized fantasies вЂ“ and finding the place where you truly want to be. But this time, it doubled as a celebration of the release of their third album, Wildest Dreams. 22 вЂ“ the pair once again partied on Al MaskatiвЂ™s birthday. Their SoundCloud EP caught the attention of a particularly influential local record label вЂ“ DrakeвЂ™s OVO Sound вЂ“ and they found themselves signing a deal under the handle Majid Jordan. They went on to transform a dorm room into a studio and completed two songs from their first session together.

Ullman, a Toronto-based producer, and Al Maskati, a singer-songwriter from Bahrain, hit it off when it came to music. 22, 2011, Jordan Ullman met Majid Al Maskati at the latterвЂ™s birthday party when they were both University of Toronto students.
