Posted yesterday from promo which stated that it was due for release on 23
Mar but has appeared a day early today, so is now available on digital
platforms.
Jalen Ngonda made a noise with his first two two singles for Daptone at the
tail end of 2022 with "Just Like You Used To" (7 Sep) and "What A Difference She Made" (11 Oct) which were also paired on a vinyl release.
The good news is that he has a Daptone debut album "Come Around And Love Me" being released on 9 Aug '23 which will include both
singles. That's quite a way off yet, so to give us another taste, a
third track from it, "If You Don't Want My Love", is due out on Thursday (23 Mar '23).
A native of Wheaton, Maryland, Jalen Ngonda is now based in London via Liverpool where he relocated to in
2014 to study music at the Liverpool Institute for the Performing
Arts. He was credited as Top Emerging Solo Artist at
the Montreux Jazz Festival in 2018 and has released round seven singles
and an EP since 2016.
The new single is a sure-fire winner for lovers of 'proper' retro soul
as Jalen glides soulfully through this song with Motown roots and a
lush string arrangement. With all three tracks released so far, the
album will be highly anticipated and, with the album being six months
away, I'm sure we will be treated to others before its release, not
least to pair it with this one for a vinyl release?
