The FADER

@RochelleJordan ladida’d her way to our latest FADER Cover 🎶 With talents that precede her, the British-Jamaican innovator details her slow burn journey, reflecting on her most recent project, ‘Through the Wall,’ her lifelong battle with sickle cell anemia, and the "divine timing" that finally brought her music to a global stage.
