Majid Jordan are having a year, and “Cold” is the latest proof. The Toronto R&B duo dropped the new single on May 22, and it lands exactly where they’re most comfortable: smooth, dance-ready, and built for summer.
The track pairs Majid Al-Maskati’s vocals with Jordan Ullman’s production in the kind of seamless creative chemistry that has defined this duo since day one. “Cold” carries a propulsive beat and an earworm melody that doesn’t let go, and the additional lyrical support and vocals from Clementine Douglas (Calvin Harris) push the track even further into its lane.
Co-production from Alex Lustig (Drake, PARTYNEXTDOOR) gives “Cold” a sonic polish that’s immediately familiar and immediately Majid Jordan. The fingerprints of the OVO world are all over this record, and that’s a very good thing.
2026 has been a strong year for the duo before this single even arrived. Their track “Life 2” earned them a JUNO Award Nomination for Contemporary R&B Recording of the Year. An impromptu performance at Listening Room Toronto generated serious buzz, and a Subway Takes appearance pulled 5.8 million views. That’s the kind of momentum that makes a new single feel like an event.
Majid Jordan’s arc is worth remembering. Majid Al-Maskati and Jordan Ullman caught the attention of Noah “40” Shebib early in their career, signed to OVO Sound, and co-produced and co-wrote Drake’s 2013 Diamond-certified “Hold On, We’re Going Home.” They’ve been building and evolving their sound ever since, carving out a subgenre that belongs entirely to them.
“Cold” is exactly what it promises: quintessential Majid Jordan. The R&B hallmarks are intact, the production is sharp, and Al-Maskati’s vocals are as strong as ever. More is coming from this duo in 2026. “Cold” is out now on all platforms.
