Feel-good tunes to make you groove! Plus, Jalen Ngonda chooses the tracks that take him back to the dance floors of his youth in Rewind Selector.

American born, Liverpool based soul singer Jalen Ngonda steps up as The Rewind Selector, curating a personal journey through the tracks that shaped him on the dance floors of his youth. Known for his sepia toned, Motown inspired sound and extraordinary vocal warmth, Jalen grew up in Wheaton, Maryland, discovering his love of classic soul early on from his father鈥檚 record collection. Jalen鈥檚 breakthrough came in 2023 with his debut album Come Around and Love Me, released on the legendary soul label Daptone Records. His new music centres on his forthcoming sophomore album Doctrine of Love, due for release in June. The project revisits his classic soul influences while weaving in gospel tinged vocals and lush arrangements. The album鈥檚 lead single, also titled 鈥淒octrine of Love鈥�, a favourite on the Radio 2 playlist, showcases his powerful, raspy tenor and a vibrant, sweeping soul production. He has described the track as inspired in part by James Brown.

Spoony wraps things up with a 鈥楳idnight Feast鈥� track. Think big production, lush orchestration, and the best voices in the business!
