"Come Around and Love Me", the title track from Jalen's smash, debut album, is a modern, mid-tempo masterpiece whose lush arrangement and laser-sharp groove provide the perfect foundation for Jalen's profoundly soulful vocal. The track exudes charm and manifest positivity in a way rarely captured on today's soul scene. On the flip is the moody, previously unreleased beat-ballad, "What is Left to Do", whose gorgeous strings, plaintive, call and response chorus and tasteful delay create the kind of subdued psychedelia that was coming out of Motown in the early '70s. But contrary to the trends of that era, both sides of this disc are presented in glorious mono.
