September 19th, 2025 — Jordan Astra isn't here to play it safe—he's here to make it impossible to stand still. Today, the Indonesian-Canadian artist and producer drops the long-awaited third instalment of his music trilogy since 2023, 'Time Will Tell', via Mind of a Genius Records. Fans can stream the new album HERE.
With his debut LP 'Time Will Tell', Jordan Astra is swinging for the fences—bringing his signature blend of soul, funk, and groove into sharp, undeniable focus. It's a record steeped in vibrant R&B, sunlit funk, and pop sparkle—pulling from the effervescence of Pharrell, the swagger of Jamiroquai, and the show-stopping energy of Bruno Mars.
The album's focus track, "Safest Place" featuring Malaysian singer-songwriter and global icon Yuna, is a stunning, soul-soothing duet that radiates warmth and emotional depth. Set against a backdrop of lush orchestral instrumentation, Yuna's signature silky vocals intertwine effortlessly with Astra's crisp, powerful delivery, capturing the quiet magic of feeling truly safe with someone. Intimate yet cinematic, the track builds to a feel-good crescendo — equal parts grand, tender, and unforgettable.
'Time Will Tell' also features collaborations with Afro-R&B trailblazer Nonso Amadi and acclaimed singer-songwriter Justin Nozuka, bringing depth and diversity to a project rooted in vulnerability, connection, and sonic elegance. With earlier singles like "Honey", "Famous", and "Driving Me Wild", Astra continues to carve out a sound that's an unapologetic celebration of joy, human connection, and the warmth we pass between one another.
Jordan Astra has carved out his lane with irresistible grooves, a magnetic stage presence, and a relentless work ethic—anchored by his personal mantra: "Repetition Sharpens Blades." It's a philosophy that has taken him from making beats in a university dorm room to headlining stages across continents, winning The Showcase Tour Finale and opening for the likes of Leikeli47. He was named one of NXNE's Top 40 Artists to Watch in 2022, and his global momentum shows no signs of slowing—streaming strong in Southeast Asian cities like Bangkok (#1) and Jakarta (#4), where his sound continues to resonate.
Astra's rise hasn't been overnight. Since going solo in 2018 to escape the drag of slow-moving collaborations, he's been grinding with purpose—touring, experimenting, and refining a sound that's both dance floor-ready and lyrically rich. His 2023 EP, 'Man From East' was a homecoming diary after eight transformative years abroad, while 2024's 'Far Deeper' dove into the thrill (and terror) of the unknown. Together, they set the stage for his forthcoming record, 'Time Will Tell'—his most ambitious, colourful, and groove-drenched project yet.
From poolside escapes to candlelit backrooms, Astra's music drops you into scenes you can almost touch. He's not just making tracks—he's building worlds where rhythm reigns and optimism feels like currency. And with 'Time Will Tell', Jordan Astra is proving that in the right hands, repetition isn't just practice—it's power.
