Today, Jordan Klassen makes his long awaited return, sharing “Virtuous Circle”, the first new music since 2017’s Big Intruder. “I wrote ‘Virtuous Circle’ at a time in my life where I felt surrounded by a lot of death primarily; a death in my family, broken relationships, personal instability, and a seemingly endless streak of career disappointments,” Klassen tells Exclaim!. “The song is a plea of hope that what feels like a vicious circle could invert into a virtuous one.
Despite having its roots in such a tumultuous season, “Virtuous Circle” isn’t despairing. Contemplative, propulsive, and at times sweeping you away, the single brings the strongest cards of Klassen’s talents to the forefront once again. Ever-changing piano lines, aching string arrangements, and an anchor in the immediately recognizable calming vocals.

“I wanted the song to have a sense of darkness, contrasted with hopefulness. I want it to feel like running - breaking away from whatever it is that is chasing you,” Klassen further added.
