On his debut album, Jalen Ngonda reminds us that wearing your influences on your sleeve can be a good thing. Ngonda's Come Around and Love Me, out now on Daptone Records, covers familiar soul terrain - think The Temptations or Marvin Gaye - with both an attention to detail and restraint that are all too uncommon these days. Hear us talk about this terrific record while we also try to figure just why it is that old soul music feels so right.

PLUS! We're spinning an awesome metal track from the Dragons of Krull's Journey to the Black Fortress, some warm synth beats from Buscrates' Command Center, and wading into some recent hot topics in the music biz. Tune in now!
