Jalen Ngonda - "Anyone In Love"

Jalen Ngonda may very well be the king of modern soul. His expressive voice is sophisticated and contemporary, yet without question, strongly reminiscent of Motown greats like Smokey Robinson and Marvin Gaye. His latest single, “Anyone In Love,” follows two great singles from earlier this year, “Illusions b/w “Rapture” and "Here to Stay" b/w "If You Don't Want My Love," and saw him collaborate with Mike Buckley and Vincent Chiarito of The Extraordinaires. 

“Anyone In Love” is a gorgeous mix of modern and retro. Ngonda’s falsetto soars—rich and emotional—backed by gospel-like vocal harmonies. The result feels both intimate and grand. Tackling love’s vulnerability and pitfalls, the track’s refrain—“Anyone in love knows hearts break in two…”—lands with mature emotional depth. It’s a hard-hitting ballad that resonates with anyone who’s loved and lost, as it beautifully balances rich nostalgia with contemporary emotional honesty. If you're drawn to modern soul artists like Durand Jones, Pale Jay, or Thee Sacred Souls, this track is a must-listen.
