LAST NIGHT ON A HOT NOVEMBER NIGHT, Majid Jordan took the stage at Stubb's BBQ in Austin as part of their Good People Live Part II tour, delivering an electrifying yet deeply intimate performance that left fans in awe. Performing for just over an hour, the Toronto-based duo filled the night with their unique blend of R&B, electronic, and pop sounds, showcasing both fan favorites and fresh tracks in a beautifully curated setlist.
Majid Al Maskati's flawless vocals were the undeniable highlight of the night, with each note delivered effortlessly, embodying a smoothness and precision that only he can bring. From opening with "Waiting for You" to diving into nostalgic favorites like "OG Heartthrob" and "Her" (which they played twice to satisfy the cheering crowd), Majid's voice had the audience mesmerized, making the live renditions feel even more vibrant than the recorded versions. Jordan Ullman, the other half of the duo, provided masterful production and instrumentation, creating the atmospheric backdrop that perfectly complemented Majid’s ethereal vocals.
The setlist struck a perfect balance between old and new, weaving tracks from their latest album alongside hits from their previous releases. Songs like "Pacifico" and "Every Step Every Way" carried the crowd through waves of high energy, while the acoustic interlude of "Chill Pad Deluxe" and "Sweet" provided a chill, stripped-back moment that felt almost like a private serenade. Majid Jordan’s connection with the audience was palpable, making the show feel incredibly special and intimate despite the large venue.
As the night drew to a close, the duo returned for an encore that included "Summer's Over Interlude," Drake's "Hold On, We're Going Home," and wrapped up with the high energy "Life 2." The encore was the perfect ending, leaving the audience on a high as they soaked in the final moments of the night.
Majid Jordan’s performance was an experience marked by genuine connection, flawless musicality, and an undeniable sense of camaraderie. With every note and every glance at the crowd, they made it clear that this was just as meaningful for them as it was for their fans. For those who attended, it was a night to remember, filled with the magic that only Majid Jordan can bring.
