Doctrine Of Love

Description

Since the release of his critically acclaimed debut album, Come Around and Love Me, in 2023, Jalen's career has skyrocketed. "If You Don't Want My Love" went viral, racking up 253 million streams to date. Jalen has appeared on several major television shows, including The Graham Norton Show, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and Later with Jools Holland. He has sold out countless headline club shows around the world. Now, in 2026, with the embers of his debut album still burning, Jalen presents his highly anticipated sophomore album, Doctrine of Love. The hard work and relentless touring that followed his debut have strengthened his craft. His message: "The Doctrine of Love holds that every thought and action must first be guided by compassion for others, for love is the highest measure of human worth." The songs on his upcoming album were born from this belief. With a deep knowledge and love of classic soul, the North Carolina native, based in Liverpool, delivers overflowing authenticity. Doctrine of Love blends pop sensibility and soulful melodies with raw energy and driving groove, expanding on the orchestral arrangements of Come Around and Love Me with brass and gospel choirs, creating a highly stylized example of modern soul artistry.
