Artists like Jalen Ngonda come around once in a lifetime, so it is our privilege and distinct
pleasure to announce the release of his debut album Come Around and Love Me.

Anyone who has had the pleasure of seeing Jalen perform live knows that he is one of the
most captivating performers on today's soul scene. 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. Plans for the album were struck
just months before the COVID 19 pandemic shut the world down. Notwithstanding, Jalen
eventually made it to Hive Mind Studios in Brooklyn, NY where he began writing and recording
with the help of producer/arrangers Mike Buckley and Vincent Chiarito (both members of
Charles Bradley's Extraordinaires) and a crack team of a-list musicians from
the Daptone family.
