Anyone who has had the pleasure of seeing Jalen Ngonda perform live knows that he is one of the most captivating performers on today’s soul scene. Come Around and Love Me, his debut full-length on Daptone Records, is equal parts raw feeling and elegance and exudes confidence and charm. Over the last few months he has disarmed packed rooms of rowdy concert goers, leaving them silent as they hold fast to every syllable sung. Recorded at Hive Mind Studios in Brooklyn 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, Come Around and Love Me blends heavy arrangements and introspective lyrics with sophistication, leaving the listener in a blissful wash of wonderment.
