GLAAD-Nominated Pop Auteur JORDY Proves He's Anything But "DUMB" With Clever New Single

JORDY's new single "DUMB" lands today via EMPIRE, and the title is the joke. The song is sharp, self-aware pop built around humor, vulnerability, and hooks that stick. JORDY wrote it with collaborators OSTON, Kate The Dreamer, and Drew Polovick of Friday Pilots Club on a day he'd decided to stop overthinking his next album and just write. The result is one of the most purely enjoyable tracks in his catalog.

"DUMB" is a night out with your best friends, meeting someone at the bar, a dance party, a drunk makeout, a break from reality. JORDY's words, and he means every one of them. The song does exactly what great pop is supposed to do: it pulls you out of your head and puts you somewhere better. The music video is out now alongside the single, and it matches the track's energy beat for beat.

JORDY's been building toward this for years. With 350M+ career streams, a million-plus social followers, and albums like 'BOY' (2023) and 'SEX WITH MYSELF' (2024) earning serious critical attention from Billboard, Rolling Stone, and PAPER, he's one of the most consistently compelling voices in queer pop. GLAAD Media Award and Queerties nominations (twice over) aren't handed out lightly.

The live schedule is filling up fast. JORDY makes his U.K. festival debut at Mighty Hoopla in London on May 31, then heads to Columbus Pride on June 20 for a headline set. New music is also in the works and coming soon.
