Background

In 1990, Jordan wanted to get involved in movies and sign with a talent agency in Chicago, but was forbidden since the orphanage he lived was in Mooseheart, (near North Aurora ), forty miles away,[3] and then in 1991, when Jordan was seventeen years old, before Thanksgiving 1991, he moved to Chicago to stay with a friend's parents. After a fight he was expelled from the house where he was living and ended up homeless,[3] living in the subway until he met his manager Peter Schivarelli. He then signed a record deal with his record company.[3]

Try My Love received mixed reviews from music critics. Matt Collar from AllMusic gave to the album 3 out of 5 stars and stated that "the album showcases Jordan's soulful if slight voice with a radio-ready, synth-heavy R&B production" and that "while the album does contain altogether too much filler, "Right Kind of Love"'s Todd Rundgren meets Andy Gibb melodic hook almost qualifies it as a classic of the decade."[13]
