Presently residing in the UK, Jalen grew up just outside of Washington D.C.. At the tender age of 11 his father introduced him to the joys of soul music, most notably Motown’s robust catalog, of which he soaked up like a thirsty sponge, guiding him on the path to become the remarkable artist that he is today. With this inaugural single Jalen delivers two sides of mid-tempo magic that will make you feel his Motown roots as opposed to wearing them on his sleeve.  ‘Just Like You Used To’ drops with groove and vibe in equal measure, providing the perfect foundation for Jalen’s vocals to soar. ‘What a Difference She Made’ digs deeper with the accompaniment of a lush string arrangement and wistful vocal, Jalen delivers every syllable with soulful excellence. A sure-shot single poised to propel Jalen to the front of the pack.
