Jordan Rakei plays a Sofa Session for Jo, including songs from his new album The Loop and a previously unheard cover.

The Loop is Jordan Rakei's fifth album, released on 10th May. Featuring singles Flowers, Learning and Freedom, the album features a new more orchestral sound and is Jordan's first release since signing with label Decca. It deals with themes of fatherhood and our relationship with the inner child. Later this year, Jordan will perform at Glastonbury Festival, Love Supreme, and the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Proms, with another headline tour to come in September and two dates at London's Royal Albert Hall.

To celebrate the release of the new album, Jordan Rakei joins Jo live at the legendary Maida Vale studios.
