Jalen Ngonda pays homage to his hometown on new single 'Just As Long As We're Together'

Modern soul powerhouse Jalen Ngonda has shared new single ‘Just As Long As We’re Together’ - a smooth, heartfelt number that was brought to life when he took a trip back to his hometown of Wheaton, Maryland, to visit his family.

Setting his striking, Motown-esque vocals against a backdrop of sumptuous, sunny instrumentation, ‘Just As Long As We’re Together’ acts as a follow up to Jalen’s 2023 debut album ‘Come Around And Love Me’, and lands just as he concludes his sold-out tour of the UK at London’s Roundhouse this evening. 

But if you didn’t manage to nab tickets this time, never fear - he’ll be back on the road for a run of festivals and support slots this Summer, before headlining another batch of UK venues in the Autumn. Check out Jalen’s full upcoming live schedule and hear his new single for yourself down below.
