“There’s something different about Jordy,” said Pharrell Williams, who coached Searcy on the NBC reality singing competition The Voice in 2014. His 2018 EP Dark In The City established him in the Nashville singer/songwriter scene. “Dark In The City is a masterpiece,” said the online music publication The Music Mermaid. “Seven tracks teeming with near-tangible emotion and a wildly impressive ability for heart-gripping.” “Better” is featured on his latest EP, Love? Songs, released in February 2020. The tune modulates from A major to B at 2:41, then reverts to the original key at 2:55.
