Julian Jordan - Bad B*tch

Bad B*tch has no interest in your feelings and I respect it enormously. Julian Jordan has quietly been making some of the most reliable big-room house around, and this is him in full ignore-the-trends, make-the-room-jump mode. The track is built on a vocal chop of the title that’s borderline obnoxious and completely effective, so you’ll be sick of it and singing it at the same time. The drop is pure electro-house muscle, a lead that sounds like it was designed in a wind tunnel. This is not a deep or searching record. It’s a peak-time bomb built to go off at 1am when everyone’s decisions are getting worse, and on that brief it’s flawless. Jordan’s always had a knack for a drop simple enough to remember and heavy enough to matter, and this one hits at 0:55 with no wasted setup. The breakdown is barely there, which is the right call, because nobody’s coming to this for introspection. Sometimes the most honest thing a house track can do is refuse to be clever. This one refuses beautifully.
