Canadian R&B duo Majid Jordan pulls a neat trick with “Cold.” The track, released on May 22, 2026, via OVO Sound under exclusive license to Santa Anna Label Group, wraps a slow-burning confession inside a propulsive, dance-ready beat. The duo, composed of vocalist Majid Al-Maskati and producer Jordan Ullman, has spent years refining this balance. They broke through in 2013 as the co-writers and co-producers of Drake’s diamond-certified smash “Hold On, We’re Going Home.” Their sound—Toronto-bred, OVO-adjacent, built on neon synths and fraught intimacy—has since spawned three acclaimed albums and a devoted global following. The duo earned a JUNO Award nomination for ‘Contemporary R&B Recording of the Year’ in early 2026 for their track “Life 2.” Now, with “Cold,” they deliver a record that sounds like summer and feels like a late-night reckoning.

The track runs three minutes. Jordan Ullman handles production alongside Alex Lustig, a frequent collaborator known for his work with Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR. Clementine Douglas, whose recent credits include Calvin Harris, adds additional vocals and lyrical support. The result is built on shimmering synths and a bassline that moves between buoyant and melancholic. Majid Al-Maskati opens the verse with a request that lands as a confession: “I don’t ask for perfection / I need love and affection.” The chorus follows with a question the singer cannot answer: “I wanna know how it gets so cold / I wanna know why I feel so alone.” The repetition of the refrain “So alone” does not function as lyrics so much as a slow unraveling, a mantra the singer did not choose.
The official visualizer, directed and streaming on YouTube, strips the song to its essentials. A single camera holds on Al-Maskati as he moves through a dimly lit space. No plot, no choreography, no cold weather. Just the singer and the ache. The visual arrived alongside the single. The duo remains on a hot streak. They recently delivered an impromptu performance at Listening Room Toronto and appeared on the viral Instagram series Subway Takes, which generated over five million views.
