Jordan Hill's self-titled debut album appeared on May 21, 1996. Produced by David Foster, Greg Charley, Rhett Lawrence, Jeff Pescetto, SoulShock & Karlin and Mario Winans, this album had the notable production. Jordan covered many songs, such as Cheryl Lynn's disco classic "Got To Be Real", Oleta Adams' "I Just Had To Hear Your Voice" (from 1993's "Evolution" album), Lisa Stansfield's "Make It Right." "For The Love Of You," produced by David Foster and Co-produced by Mario Winans, was release as the first single. It became the minor hit both in Billboard Hot 100 and R&B/Hip charts. However, the remix version by Tony Moran became her one and only Top 10 hit in Hot Dance Music/Club Play charts.
The second single "How Many Times" (which is covered by Aretha Franklin in 1998) and the third single "Too Much Heaven", which is produced by The Bee Gees' Barry Gibb and sang backup, both failed in chart. Due to the poor album sales, 143 Records dropped her.
She still worked with some notable artists, such as The Bee Gees and Jim Brickman, on whose 1999 Top 10 Adult Contemporary hit "Destiny" she was a featured vocalist, along with Billy Porter.

Baby what can I do just to get through to you
My head is spinning around feelings turning to blue
Baby don't you know it's true
I walk each day down the street where you live
I've waited for the right time, somethin's gotta give
I'd try to say it but the words come out wrong
Here is my heart, here is my soul
Take what you want, baby don't ever let go
'Cause every little thing that I do
I do it for the love of, do it for the love of you
Every time that you hurt
You know I'm feelin' it too, baby don't you know it's right
'Cause every day that I live
I dedicate it to you, each and every night
I tried to play it time after time
But the kind of rush you give me
I could never hide
So listen to these words that I say
Won't let you go, no how, no way
Here is my heart, here is my soul
Take what you want, baby don't ever let go
'Cause every little thing that I do
I do it for the love of, do it for the love of you
I walk each day down the street where you live
I've waited for the right time, somethin's gotta give
I'd try to say it but the words come out wrong
So listen while I sing you this song
Here is my heart, here is my soul
Take what you want, baby don't ever let go
'Cause every little thing that I do
I do it for the love of, do it for the love of you
