Jordan Janzen

Canadian singer-songwriter, Jordan Janzen, just released his latest single “You Can Let Go,” a heart-driven pop ballad that gives the listener permission to let go of past regrets, secrets, all the things that can be so difficult to release. “People need Jesus more than ever,” Janzen says. “The God of love and comfort is the God that’s going to draw us in. He loves us just as we are. We don’t have to do it on our own. We can let go.”

"After the pandemic, I started coming to Nashville for writing appointments, totally open-handed. I knew it was time to start something fresh.” For the first time as an artist, he began allowing pieces of his own experience, his own struggles and questions and doubts, into the songs he was writing. “There’s a new, deeper honesty to my songs that make them a place of safety,” he says. “That’s what I want when people hear my music, to know they can connect with a God of safety and comfort.”

More than a shift in writing and performing, standing alone in the spotlight highlighted, among other thing, his lifelong struggle with perfectionism. “The majority of my life I’ve spent with eyes and spotlights on me. It can hard to be okay with being me, but I’m learning it’s okay not to be perfect. God doesn’t bring perfect circumstances. He brings the strength to get through it.”

His goal for the future is to write more songs from the deep well of his heart, songs designed to usher people in to the assurance of God’s wide-open love.
