Jordan reciprocated the admiration, stating, “Within the last few years, following Nate’s projects, I have come to the conclusion he is the best songwriter of our generation as well as a great guy. Getting to do vocals on this was such a treat because I got to listen to it over and over again.” Her excitement for the project reflects the deep respect both artists carry for each other, further weaving a sense of camaraderie within the indie music community.
