Behold the new single and music video “Not Your Dream Girl” from powerhouse singer-songwriter, 4 octave vocalist Jordan Duffy. The song was written while watching the movie Sixteen Candles. Jordan thought, “what if these John Hughes movies didn’t have a happy ending, what would a song like that sound like?. The video’s storyline, showcases an alien spying on Jordan being denied by her high school crush, later that alien pretends to be the high school crush to win Jordan over!
Using “If You Were Here” by the Thompson Twins as their inspiration, producer Party Nails and Jordan Duffy create a hooky, loveable, YAZ-like and Eurhythmic-ish, synth pop song that you can’t stop dancing to. She shares, “This song is written about a friend that I had feelings for, but I knew it would not go any further. I always saw him as my Jake Ryan. He does not and will never know this was written about him. But it has become one of my favorite songs I’ve ever written.”
Jordan Duffy is known for her fun and important musical releases touching upon subjects includings heart breaks in dive bars, female empowerment, exploding toads, one night stands, and zombie lovers. The songwriter has sung to Weird Al Yankovic and is the vocalist for the “Just Between Us” Podcast theme song.
