Soul artist Jalen Ngonda returns with new single ‘Anyone In Love’. The US-born, UK-based songwriter’s exquisite album ‘Come Around And Love Me’ was dominated by soulful maturity, a song cycle that allowed Jalen space to blend vintage influences with a distinctly modern, totally original feel. The world seems to be catching on, too.
A knockout Glastonbury performance presaged a packed out UK tour, with Jalen Ngonda set to play London’s Roundhouse on March 13th – his biggest ever headline show, it’s already sold out. New single ‘Anyone In Love’ continues his journey. A gorgeous listen, it’s truly honey for the ears – the supple arrangement, the striking lyric, and naturally Jalen’s one-of-a-kind voice.
Recorded in Hive Mind studios, it finds Jalen Ngonda working with Mike Buckley and Vincent Chiarito (both previous members of Charles Bradley’s Extraordinaires), alongside a heavenly host of Daptone family members. Tune in now. Related: Here To Stay: Jalen Ngonda Interviewed Photo Credit: Imogen Hardy.
