Since the release of his critically acclaimed debut full-length album, 2023’s Come Around and Love Me, Jalen has experienced a meteoric rise. His track “If You Don’t Want My Love” went viral, amassing over 253 million streams to date, and he has appeared on major television programs including The Graham Norton Show, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and Later with Jools Holland. Beyond the screen, Jalen has opened for Thee Sacred Souls on their U.S. tour and sold out numerous headlining club shows worldwide.
Now, in 2026, he prepares to release his eagerly anticipated sophomore album, Doctrine of Love. The record emerges from the momentum and experience gained through relentless touring and creative refinement following his debut. Guided by a personal philosophy—“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 album channels this ethos into each track.
Musically, Doctrine of Love builds on the orchestral sophistication of Come Around and Love Me, adding bold flourishes of horns and gospel-kissed backing vocals. The album blends pop sensibility with soulful melodies and a raw, groove-driven energy, demonstrating Jalen’s deep understanding and appreciation of classic soul while firmly staking his place in modern soul artistry.
