News from Daptone

Two New 45s - Thee Sacred Souls & Junior Scaife and a new digital releases from Jalen Ngonda, details below...

Thee Sacred Souls
"My Heart is Drowning" b/w "Stuck in the Mud"

The second 45 from Got a Story to Tell offers up two staff favorites. The moody, mid-tempo mover "My Heart is Drowning" opens with a foreboding, echo-drenched drip that lurks behind singer Josh Lane's tale of a forlorn lover who's past mistakes have left him drowning in despair. "Stuck in the Mud" also leans towards an earlier R&B sound but with a subtle tinge of gospel via the call and response vocals that permeate this impeccably heartfelt composition.

Junior Scaife returns with two strikingly soulful sides produced and co-written by Penrose staunchman, Anthony Masino. With its vibey groove and infectious background melody "Nobody Gets My Love" marries the visceral rawness of late sixties Detroit sides ala Hestor and Wylie with a relaxed West Coast je ne sais quoi. 

Jalen Ngonda
"Just As Long As We're Together"

Penned at his hometown of Wheaton, Maryland, Jalen Ngonda returns with “Just As Long As We’re Together.” Despite the narrators personal battles and onlookers he is comforted by his lover's affection as his worries along with space and time comes to a halt. Available digitally now.
