Jalen Ngonda – Doctrine Of Love (Clear Colour vinyl)

Since the release of his critically acclaimed debut full length, 2023’s Come Around and Love Me, Jalen’s career has undergone a meteoric trajectory.  Now, in 2026, with the embers of his debut still burning brightly, Jalen drops his eagerly awaited sophomore album, Doctrine of Love. His message: “The doctrine of love holds that every thought and action should be guided first by compassion for others, because love is the highest measure of human worth.” The tracks on the forthcoming album are born from this creed. Doctrine of Love blends pop sensibility and soulful melodies with raw grit and groove, expanding on the orchestral arrangements of Come Around and Love Me with flourishes of horns and gospel-kissed background vocals, creating a highly stylish exercise in modern soul artistry.
