Jalen Ngonda
Outline
Jalen Ngonda (originally N'Gonda) is an artist who embraces the retro soul sound emphatically. His music is smooth with a romantic, relaxing flow that is in the vein of the classic Motown recordings of the early '60s. He sings in a voice that also fits right in with the throwback quality of his work, well-aligned with some of the legendary artists of the past, such as Smokey Robinson. His songwriting style, vocal delivery with its gospel undertones, the particulars of his orchestration, and the sonic profile of the instruments used in the recording process all suggest a deep respect for the genre as it was performed during what arguably was its peak period.
Durand Jones and the Indications and the solo work of Durand Jones and Aaron Frazer, Thee Sacred Souls, Curtis Harding, Olivia Dean, The Altons, Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield, Smokey Robinson
