Jenevieve Teams With Jordan Ward For 'Waiting Room'

Official Announcement | Published: Mar 25, 2026 2:36 PM EDT

(ICLG) Los Angeles-based artist Jenevieve returns today with her new single "Waiting Room" featuring Jordan Ward, arriving alongside an official visual. "Waiting Room" builds on the sonic world introduced in CRYSALIS, pairing Jenevieve's signature breezy delivery with Jordan Ward's fluid, genre-blurring style. The track continues her exploration of intimacy and self-reflection, offering a natural next step in her evolving artistry.

The accompanying visual, directed by Yanchi, draws inspiration from the reverse-shot style of The Pharcyde's "Drop" music video, also echoing the themes of Jordan Ward's recent album BACKWARDS.

The release arrives a day after Jenevieve completed her sold out European leg of The CRYSALIS Tour - Worldwide, where she performed in Paris, London, and Amsterdam. The tour will resume in May with dates across Asia, including stops in Shanghai, Seoul, Tokyo, and a return to Manila, where she previously shot the visual for "Haiku."

The CRYSALIS era has marked a major breakthrough for Jenevieve. The album earned praise from NPR, Billboard, VIBE, and The FADER, while standout single "Head Over Heels" reached #1 at R&B radio, marking her first chart-topping record, and peaked in the Top 5 at Adult R&B Airplay. She has also been nominated for Best New Artist at the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards, airing live Thursday, March 26 (8/7c on FOX), further underscoring her growing impact. The momentum builds on her earlier success with breakout single "Baby Powder," which has surpassed 175 million global streams.
