Jalen Ngonda follows his breakthrough debut with Doctrine Of Love, a confident statement of purpose on Daptone Records.
After the acclaim for Come Around and Love Me and the viral success of ‘If You Don’t Want My Love’, Ngonda has taken his timeless soul sound from club stages to international television, building a reputation as a commanding live performer. The touring and momentum have sharpened his focus.
At the heart of Doctrine Of Love is a simple credo: let compassion guide every thought and action. These songs lean into that belief, pairing classic soul foundations with pop instinct and a tougher rhythmic edge. Lush horns and gospel-tinged backing vocals expand his orchestral palette, while his voice remains the centrepiece – supple, assured and steeped in tradition.
