JALEN NGONDA – DOCTRINE OF LOVE

Description

Following the breakout success of his acclaimed debut *Come Around and Love Me*, Jalen Ngonda returns with *Doctrine Of Love*, a stunning second album that further establishes him as one of modern soul’s most captivating voices. Drawing inspiration from the timeless sounds of Motown, Philadelphia soul and classic Daptone recordings, Ngonda blends heartfelt songwriting, lush orchestration and effortlessly smooth vocals into a collection that feels both timeless and contemporary.

Built around the idea that compassion and love should guide our actions, *Doctrine Of Love* expands on the rich arrangements of its predecessor with warm horn sections, gospel-inspired backing vocals and deeper grooves throughout. Songs such as “Anyone In Love”, “Burning Temptation” and “Good Good Love” showcase Ngonda’s gift for melody, while his distinctive falsetto recalls soul greats without ever sounding like imitation.

Released on the legendary Daptone Records, *Doctrine Of Love* is a beautifully crafted modern soul album that combines vintage authenticity with contemporary songwriting. Essential listening for fans of Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield, The Delfonics and contemporary soul revivalists alike.
