Mikhalé Jones Drops an R&B Gem: 10 Tracks of Soul, Style, and Straight-Up Vibes

Let’s be real, there’s R&B, and then there’s R&B. The kind that wraps around you like silk sheets on a Sunday morning. The kind that hits just the right nerve between moody and magical. And in 2024, nobody is doing it quite like Mikhalé Jones.

Her latest album (dropped mid-year in 2024 and still in heavy rotation) is an instant classic. Ten tracks, no skips, pure smoothness from start to finish. It's got the kind of grown energy we’ve been missing, a mix of velvet vocals, clean production, and that rare ability to sound both fresh and timeless.

This project isn’t just a flex for Mikhalé - it's a masterclass. Each track is its own little universe, carefully layered with emotion, groove, and those signature melodies she delivers so effortlessly. Her voice? Silky. Smooth. Airy when it needs to be, sharp when it counts. It’s like she’s not just singing to you, she’s speaking directly from your inner monologue, but with better harmonies.

And the features? Every single one hits the mark. Chaise Williams brings a moody warmth that feels like late-night city lights. Hersh slides in with that melodic finesse. Yoshiyuki’s contribution adds a epic flair, and Melvin Miya rounds things out with a raw edge that balances Mikhalé’s smoothness beautifully. None of these cameos feel like throwaways, they’re all hand-picked, thoughtfully placed, and aligned with her creative vision.

That’s the magic of this album. It doesn’t feel like a playlist or a collab project thrown together in a hurry. It feels intentional. Like every beat, lyric, and vocal run was chosen with care. And behind it all is an artist who knows who she is.

If you've followed Mikhalé for a minute, you already know the resume. Born in Johannesburg, she’s a SAMA-nominated singer, songwriter, dancer, model, and content creator, basically the definition of multi-talented. She made a splash with her debut album it is what it is back in 2021, snagging a South African Music Award nom for Best R&B Album. Since then, she’s only leveled up - independent, unapologetic, and making music on her own terms.

Her lyrics carry that “say-it-as-I-mean-it” energy she’s become known for honest, bold, sometimes playful, always real. And the production? Forward-thinking without losing that nostalgic R&B warmth. It’s a vibe you want to ride out with windows down or slow-dance in your living room when nobody’s watching.

In a world of quick drops and forgettable singles, Mikhalé Jones delivered something that sticks. This isn’t just background music, it’s the kind of album that lives with you for a while. It’s a reminder of why we fell in love with R&B in the first place.

And if this is what Mikhalé sounds like in 2024, the rest of the decade better keep up.
