Wait a second. Is Chris Brown not on this track?

I’ve never met jalen chords, but everything about him screams low-key. His Spotify profile picture exudes chill vibes, his artist name is all lowercase, and his latest project—the playlist, released on March 14th—keeps things simple. But don’t let the laid-back aesthetic fool you—this man can sing his ass off. Throughout the project, he delivers passionate, mesmerizing vocal performances, with one of the standout moments coming in “signs (sportmode).”

On “signs (sportmode),” jalen reassures a love interest that she doesn’t have to stay in a bad situation—offering himself as the better option. The track flows over a smooth, hypnotic beat, and what truly elevates it is his vocal versatility. He seamlessly switches between a soulful, impassioned delivery and soothing, subdued melodies, creating an atmosphere that feels both uplifting and intimate. Simply put, jalen chords is a star in the making.

Run this track and the playlist up, guys.
