Renowned for her soulful voice and captivating performances, Mikhalé Jones’ sophomore album Too Many Promises is a bold reclamation of her artistic independence.
Following her victory in the MTN Pulse Virals competition, which served as a powerful reminder of her capabilities, Jones began work with Ammo Moses, YoshiYuki and Nothando Mamba, giving birth to a new collection of songs.
“We locked in and crafted something special, pulling in tracks that were initially sidelined like ’24/7′ and ‘Toxic Trends’,” says Jones.
Blending neo-soul, R&B and hip-hop, Jones presents a danceable sound whilst simultaneously telling deeply personal stories – a chronicle of her emotional journey after leaving a toxic relationship, mirroring her experience in the music industry.
“From being signed to one of the major record labels to facing harsh criticism, I finally decided to take matters into my own hands,” says Jones, and it certainly wasn’t an easy undertaking.
Too Many Promises was produced entirely independently, and Jones’ singular creative vision is strongly felt. Following in the footsteps of artists like Alice Phoebe Lou, Mikhalé Jones makes music on her own terms, and the result is brilliantly refreshing.
