Jordan’s velvety vocals join in, offering a soothing sense of relief as he affirms that life is incomplete without his partner.

“Waiting For You” marks Majid Jordan’s return to the music scene, serving as their first proper single since their 2021 sophomore album, Wildest Dreams. It’s also a tantalizing glimpse into their highly anticipated third album, which is yet to receive an official release date.
When discussing the inspiration behind their upcoming album, Majid Jordan shares, “Our intention with this album was to make something that felt therapeutic — something where people felt at ease. We strive to create warm music that evokes an emotion of love. It’s something that we practice in our daily lives, from the way we speak to each other to how we engage with the world around us. The music and words are meant to serve as a gentle reminder of where we have come from, and how far we have gone. This album is dedicated to ourselves, our family, and to our fans that have been with us from the very beginning.”
Their previous album, “Wildest Dreams,” featured notable guest appearances by Drake, Diddy, and Swae Lee. Leading up to its release, the duo dropped several tracks, including “Waves of Blue” and “Summer Rain.”
Since then, Majid Jordan has made appearances on Khalid‘s Scenic Drive EP in 2021 and featured in Nonso Amadi‘s music video for “Different” in 2022.
On the other hand, Naomi Sharon has been making waves with her music, releasing tracks like “Another Life” and its alternate versions and remixes. She recently unveiled “Definition of Love” and announced that her debut album, Obsidian, is on the horizon.
“Waiting For You” is a captivating collaboration that showcases Majid Jordan and Naomi Sharon’s vocal prowess, leaving fans eagerly anticipating their upcoming projects. Listen to this sultry track and let it take you on a musical journey of emotion and desire.
