On 'Valentine', her second album, Lindsey Jordan solidifies and defines this trajectory in a blaze of glory. In ten songs, written over 2019-2020 by Jordan alone, we are taken on an adrenalising odyssey of genuine originality in an era in which 'indie' music has been reduced to gentle, homogenous pop composed mostly by ghost writers. Made with careful precision, 'Valentine' shows an artist who has chosen to take her time. The reference points are broad and physically stirring, while the lyrics build masterfully on the foundation set by Jordan's first record to deliver a deeper understanding of heartbreak.

Reviews4 stars out of 5 -- "With its amped-up pop choruses, refined sense of melody, and hints of everything from Blood Orange-inspired R&B to vintage mid-century torch balladry, VALENTINE, indeed, opens up entire new worlds of possibilities for her.", Included in Rolling Stone's "The 50 Best Albums of 2021" -- "It’s a fuller, clearer, and more forceful LP, though her writing remains as unnervingly mature and crushingly vulnerable as ever.", 5 stars out of 5 -- "VALENTINE embraces a rich palette of warm synthesisers, longing orchestral hums and gravelling folk.", "It's more to do with Jordan looking inward, writing clearly about what hurts, and allowing herself to heal.", "Lindsey Jordan’s pained voice on her debut album, 2018’s LUSH, crackled like dry tinder, on 2021 sophomore LP VALENTINE it is a fully realized blaze, multi-hued and emitting undeniable heat."
