With his third album Julian felt ready to experiment. The result was tougher and tighter than any previous material. Throughout 'Mr. Jordan' Julian reveals an unbridled vocal style that's been likened to David Bowie. With a hitherto unsuspected vocal range, Julian delivers blues, funk, rock and pop material with confidence.

Criticisms that he was guarded in his lyrics, unwilling to reveal too much of his personal life, were dispelled with the brutally honest 'Angillette',
a resignation to despair over a suicidal friend. Julian's follow-up to his debut album, 'Valotte',
had attracted the criticism that 'The Secret Value
Of Daydreaming' was 'more of the same'. With
'Mr Jordan' it was widely agreed that Julian had matured and moved on. Despite critical acclaim lack of promotion meant the album failed to chart.
