Northbrook's JORDYmusic riffs on his growing pains and pays tribute to family, LGBTQ community with upcoming album BOY
Northbrook-native pop singer JORDY insists he isn't playing favorites including the song for his sister --"Becky's Brother" -- on his upcoming full-length album"BOY," due out April 21.
"I understand that wholeheartedly. I can only imagine how that must feel," he said."As she told me that I was like, 'No, I totally understand that and I validate that. And I want you to know that if I died being known as your brother, I would die a happy man." "It's so crazy because as an artist, your mind plays such tricks on you," JORDY said."You can be growing, but your brain is still telling you that you're not where you should be. And I think that's been such an interesting journey for me over the past year, because when I actually look back and make a list of all of the goals that we have reached and all of the ways we have expanded, it's crazy.
"BOY," the upcoming full-length album by JORDY, is due out Friday, April 21. While part of JORDY's draw is his vulnerability and specificity in his lyrics, presenting real feelings and inviting listeners to poke around in his world --"It's always a therapy session," he joked --"BOY" isn't all heartfelt tributes and poetic musings.

Research: How to Be a Better Ally to the LGBTQ+ CommunitySome straight, cisgender people think of themselves as allies to the LGBTQ+ community, maybe even going so far as to self-designate as such through signage in their workspace or on their personal effects. But do LGBTQ+ individuals actually perceive them to be allies? To answer this question, the authors completed a four-year project to investigate how LGBTQ+ individuals determine whether someone is an ally. They conducted six studies, including thousands of LGBTQ+-identified participants across the U.S., to understand the causes and effects of allyship. Based on their findings, they present three ways to be a good ally to your LGBTQ+ colleagues — and not just perform allyship.
