Jalen’s pristine, modern, soul debut skilfully blends tight, heavy arrangements and introspective lyrics with Motown sophistication and, with every listen, we’re left disarmed and in a blissfully warm wash of wonderment.

It’s always tricky when a current artist’s sound is so reminiscent of a clearly identifiable, classic musical movement. However, written and recorded with members of Charles Bradley’s Extraordinaires and a crack team of A-List musicians from the Daptone family, Jalen’s life-enriching neo-soul may be firmly rooted in the sounds of revered pioneers but it’s very much of the now. It’s fresh, elegant, arresting and comforting and we can’t get enough of it! FFO: Thee Sacred Souls / Curtis Mayfield / Marvin Gaye / Charles Bradley / Durand Jones
