J. Brown continues to thrive and create contemporary music that transcends time. His musical journey began in the church, where he nurtured his passion through choir performances every Sunday. The Motown legacy runs deep in his veins, thanks to his mother, a former artist whose determination inspired him to pursue his musical dreams. Influenced by icons like Usher, Jay-Z, Jimi Hendrix, Nas, and Sting, J. Brown honed his craft and unique sound.
J. Brown has achieved remarkable milestones as an independent artist, earning eight Top 20 singles and seven Top 10 hits on the R&B Billboard Charts. His first #1 single, "My Whole Heart," dominated the charts for three consecutive weeks, signaling a new era in modern R&B. Recently, he celebrated his second #1 single, "If You Could See You," which reigned atop the charts for two weeks—a testament to his undeniable talent and appeal.
J. Brown’s highly anticipated third studio album, Just A Matter Of Time, is a masterful blend of soul, vulnerability, and raw emotion. Leading the way is the soul-stirring single "True Love," a powerful anthem of devotion and resilience. “Even if I’m the last man on the battlefield, I’ll fight for True Love,” J. Brown declares, capturing the essence of unwavering love in the face of life’s challenges.
To bring this project to life, J. Brown collaborated with GRAMMY® Award-winning producer and songwriter Carvin Haggins (Will Smith, Jill Scott, Musiq Soulchild) and his team, TheRing, spending seven months crafting profoundly personal and authentic songs. Tracks like "Are You Still Mad" explore the universal tensions of love and relationships with heartfelt honesty. J. Brown also teamed up with October London to create the standout track "JustA Matter Of Time," a timeless and soulful piece born from their long-shared vision to make something extraordinary together. The song’s stirring melodies and poignant lyrics reflect the depth of their artistry.
Additionally, J. Brown worked with longtime collaborator Elijah Blake, who penned the nostalgic and poignant track "MAH DEAR." Produced by Roark Bailey (Saweetie, Summer Walker, Kanye West, Chris Brown), the song delivers a fresh yet familiar sound reminiscent of Sam Cooke. It pays homage to timeless soul while bringing something new to the genre.
The album’s title, Just A Matter Of Time, reflects the highs and lows of love—a journey of wanting, finding, and sometimes losing it. “As the project came together, it became clear that this was about the many facets of love and growth,” J. Brown explains. “Naming the album Just A Matter Of Time felt organic, and I believe it will resonate deeply with listeners.”
