Jalen Ngonda - Illusions ft. BBC Concert Orchestra 

Not since Amy Winehouse have I been so excited about an artist. He is devine. Takes me back to the 60s and 70s when music was beautiful and meaningful. So lovely and uplifting.

Unbelievable this sounds like it could of been released in 1968 but some how feels current and fresh in 2024 and beyond just sublime

I was absolutely blown away by Jalen's incredible voice on the radio, I just had to search for more and now I'm obsessed! It's a crime this man isn't more well known, thank you BBC Radio 2 for putting him on my radar!

We are witnessing the beginning of a musical legend.

Real instruments, real singing, real Soul music.

Song of the year, so far!

Absolutely obsessed with this song and this performance, what a talent! Reminds me of a mixture of Smokey Robinson and Marvin Gaye. An old soul, amazing!!!!

Big up yourself young man, I appreciate this beautiful music, about time somebody brought real music back to the public ears. Thank you.

Nossa eu estou amando.. voz incrível

Que voz maravilhosa é essa! A tanto tempo não surge no cenário musical alguém com uma voz tão linda e com estilo tão próprio. 👏👏👏👏

Love this so much, hes gonna be huge! He feels like Stevie Wonder without sounding like a pastiche but himself, really cool.

Ouvi um trechinho no Instagram e vim correndo descobrir que joia era essa. Absolutamente apaixonada no som do cara! E feliz por ter descoberto sua arte.

Underrated to say the least.Amazing voice

Amazing performance. Heard him live on the radio and had to look into this wonderful talent. Love it.

Thanks to KUTX Radio for featuring this oh so Talented Young Man! I Absolutely Love this! ❤❤❤

Amazing , echos of old skool soul classics , new refreshing beautiful voice , love it x

Wow! This is a real masterpiece! Brilliant! Top class soulful voice! ❤ 🎉 🎯 🔥 💘 Keep the faith! ✊ ✊

If Michael Jackson’s DNA was spliced with Stevie Wonder’s! Amazing talent!

1 thing , if you like this, he is on tour soon, you absolutely must go and see him. It moved me to tears the joy in the music. He just walks on stage, so unassuming, literally blows you away. I saw him in a small pub in Bristol and am going to see him in the trinity centre there. You really must see it with you own eyes and hear it with your ears. Unbelievable !

Did not know the song and did not know the singer. Great to discover gems everyday.

ILLUSIONS !

It’s good to hear a real musician gifting us with their talents.

Simply wonderful…..

I thought I'd not heard this track before, it's not on the album, more good to come then. Imagine being in the band playing this, you'd love it !

Amazing! Your voice is stunning, Mr. Ngonda! I discovered you by pure chance as a random suggestion on RU-vid music. I've been hooked ever since! I was surprised to learn you're based in the UK. That's probably why I hadn't heard of you (I'm in Arizona).

Wow ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Every day I discover music piece of this calibre I can't stop whistling it at work and colleagues look at me like an idiot but this is so enjoyable and it transports you back to your childhood and I'm in my forties now !!!
