Wynter Gordon performs in the Soundcheck studio.
(Michael Katzif / WNYC)
New York native Wynter Gordon got her start writing hits for stars like Flo Rida, Mary J. Blige and Danity Kane. But the 2011 song "Dirty Talk" jump-started her solo career. Now, she’s been self-releasing a series four EPs that will eventually form an album called The Human Condition. Gordon joins us with her band to perform in the studio.
About the The Human Condition series Gordon says, "Each EP is a different emotion, and it's kind of where I was feeling in my life [at the time]."
The first EP is called Doleo, which means "pain" in Latin. "I was feeling pretty regretful about a lot of things -- hurt, a lot of family issues, and it was just coming out naturally in my music."
Her latest is the second installment, Sanguine. Its theme is hope. "I'm thinking the last one is going to be love and lust," she said. "It comes naturally. I don't have the title until I finish each chapter, and I know where I am."
Set List:
- "Stimela"
- "Lucky Ones"
- "Tomorrow"

Hello,
I just heard Wynter Gordon in your studio. I just want to say that she has one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard. (and I've heard a lot of music in my 50+ years) Wynter's vocals are simply haunting & absolutely magical!!. I love her new style of music here (as well as her earlier dance tunes. IMHO she is WAY BETTER than the majority of current artists out there today. She also sounds like a really nice down-to-earth person as her warmth came through in her interview. I truly wish her the best of luck in her promising career & in everything she does :)
Sincerely,
Michael Hanz
