Jalen N’Gonda is the latest name you need to put on your radar. The talented singer, born in Maryland but currently based in Liverpool, made his debut last year with the track “Holler (When You Call My Name),” and now, he’s back with his stunning second single titled “Why I Try.”
Jalen’s voice and overall style just oozes cool, with a soulful tone that echoes those of the ’60s, and more recently, artists like Leon Bridges. It’s no wonder he’s opened up for the likes of Lauryn Hill, Jamie Woon and Laura Mvula in the past.
