His voice, equal parts raw feeling and elegance, exudes confidence and charm—disarming packed rooms of rowdy concert goers, leaving them silent as they hold fast to every syllable sung.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003ePlans for the album were struck just months before the COVID 19 pandemic shut the world down. Notwithstanding, Jalen eventually made it to \u003cstrong\u003eHive Mind Studios\u003c\/strong\u003e in Brooklyn, NY where he began writing and recording with the help of producer\/arrangers \u003cstrong\u003eMike Buckley\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eVincent Chiarito\u003c\/strong\u003e (both members of \u003cstrong\u003eCharles Bradley's Extraordinaires\u003c\/strong\u003e) and a crack team of a-list musicians from the Daptone family. The team skillfully blends heavy arrangements and introspective lyrics with Motown sophistication, leaving the listener in a blissful wash of wonderment. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJalen has been writing songs since he was 14, and his compositions are also very much of these times. He explains, “I love music from the 20th century— I listen to it all the time, but I?m in this world and the 21st century. ...to a stranger, I?d describe my music as modern soul and R\u0026amp;B, while trying to ft in the Beach Boys and the Beatles somewhere in between.” ‘Come Around and Love Me’ reveals how he creates a classic approach that is rooted in the sounds of revered pioneers, without falling into imitation–leaving no doubt that Jalen will continue to shine within the superlative, timeless musical tradition that is \u003cstrong\u003eDaptone\u003c\/strong\u003e?s hallmark. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow it's your turn to come around and love one of the finest soul albums of the decade.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Daptone Records","offers":[{"title":"LP - Vinyl - Dinked Edition #250","offer_id":47060867121497,"sku":"SDZ-16752","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/Jalen_Ngonda_-_Come_Around_And_Love_Me_-_LP_Clear_Purple_Vinyl.jpg?v=1781219638","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/jalen-ngonda-come-around-and-love-me","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
