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. The team skillfully blends heavy
arrangements and introspective lyrics with motown sophistication,
leaving the listener in a blissful wash of wonderment.
