First Listen: Hot soul man J. Brown finds “True Love”

(January 23, 2025) Detroit native J. Brown has been a rising star on the soul music scene for over a half decade, hitting the top 10 with such hits as “Sunrise, Sunset” and “Moon.” Now as he readies his third album, Just A Matter Of Time, Brown delivers a single that feels just right for lovers on Valentine’s Day.

“True Love” is a powerful ballad with a gospel underpinning that builds to a loving crescendo. The song speaks of devotion and commitment in a vulnerable way that feels both novel and classic. Produced beautifully by Carvin Haggins, Malek Ben Yisrael and Lamar Andrews, “True Love” has the kind of timeless sound that could have made it a hit in any of the last five decades, and Brown’s strong vocal performance takes it over the top.

We think SoulTrackers are gonna dig this one. Check out “True Love” below, and welcome J. Brown back to SoulTracks.
