We were hot on the new single from Jalen Ngondo "Come Around and Love Me", which is going down a storm, however, we slept on, what we believe is his
first, music video for the song which was released on Daptone's YouTube
channel the same day.
Jalen Ngonda grew up on the outskirts of Washington D.C. (Wheaton, MD)
and began musical studies in grade school, where he dabbled in violin,
ultimately moving on to the guitar and piano. He is from a musical family
and gained inspiration from listening to his father’s collection of Motown
albums.
He, like so many before him, cut his teeth in the church where he
played organ which helped him raise funds to send him to the
Liverpool Institute for the Performing Arts in 2014, He currently
resides in London.
He was spotted by Daptone co-founder Neal Sugarman whilst
performing a chance, last minute, slot for Jools Holland and he was
duly signed and an album was planned but unfortunately it occurred
the month before Covid-19 lock down.
The latest single is the title track of a forthcoming album due for
release on 8 Sep for which we posted
samples of tracks
last week.
He is embarking on a US tour to promote the album in Sep & Oct
with UK/EU dates also scheduled for Nov. A full list of dates and venues
are below (NB click image to enlarge).
