About this episode
Sari Jordan is a vocalist, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist based in New Orleans. Their debut album Perfect Be The Enemy is due out May 2026 with the video and lead single Freak hitting the streets on January 9th. Sari tells us how New Orleans has shaped and nourished their musical life and why it’s a healthy and challenging scene. Sari shares how their approach to recording has changed from the previous EP, why the new record comes from a place of both lightness and existential contradiction and how the single Freak is a celebration of a win as a transgender person. Joe and Sari discuss the distinct neighborhood music scenes in New Orleans, the importance of working out songs live before recording them and we get a sneak peek of Freak.
