ALBUM DETAILS

Though they have been married for 34 years, He Sang She Sang is the first duo album from critically acclaimed and commercially successful Toronto singer/songwriters Marc Jordan and Amy Sky. Released on Linus in 2022, this is a superbly-curated collection of songs that combines fresh takes on some beloved classics, together with new original compositions.

The covers include songs by Tom Petty (Free Fallin’, the first single which has already had over 155,000 views on YouTube), The Beach Boys, Smokey Robinson, Willie Nelson, Bonnie Raitt, Richard Thompson and Frank Loesser. There is an appealing diversity in the song selection, with tunes across genres including Rock, Pop, Soul, Folk and Americana. The new original material (primarily from Sky) explores matters of the heart in insightful and compelling ways.

All the songs are given vibrant life here via performance in a duets format by two masterful vocalists. Jordan, well-schooled in the jazz vocal tradition, is a virtuoso of phrasing, bringing lyrics to life in subtly understated fashion. Sky possesses a rich and mellow alto voice, brimming with emotional expressiveness.

On He Sang She Sang, the pair trade lines effortlessly, then bring those voices together in perfect harmony. The results are enchanting. Add in the impeccable musical contributions of A-list session players in both Nashville and Toronto and the result is an album of wide and timeless appeal.

ARTIST BIO

Marc Jordan and Amy Sky met in Los Angeles in 1986 and married a year later. In 1993 they moved back to Toronto, where both had grown up. Driven by the need to always have someone at home for their two children, Marc and Amy decided early on to keep their careers largely separate, just occasionally enjoying opportunities to collaborate.

But now ‘empty nesters’, the idea of exploring where their voices and genres overlap intrigued them. Both possess outstanding vocal technique and the blend of their voices, with Marc's smoky resonance and Amy's sinewy alto, is as rich as dark chocolate and as full-bodied as a glass of the finest cabernet. So overcoming any lingering doubts, their first duo record, He Sang She Sang, was born.

MARC JORDAN

Marc Jordan was born in Brooklyn, NY, son of singer Charles Jordan. He grew up in Toronto, Canada. His music career launched internationally in 1978 when he was signed to Warner Music in Los Angeles and began writing songs with some of the best in business. In his 40+ year career to date, he has been a hit solo artist (‘Marina Del Rey’, ‘Survival’), a sought-after songwriter (‘Rhythm of My Heart’) and now a collaborator with his equally talented wife, Amy Sky.

Marc has written songs for everyone from Rod Stewart, Bonnie Raitt and Joe Cocker to Chicago, Kansas, Bette Midler, Cher, Manhattan Transfer, Kenny Loggins and Natalie Cole.
