In The Spotlight

Gareth Donkin – “Never Gonna Break Your Heart”

Grown up in France before moving to London aged 14, this British artist is a singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist. Born with perfect pitch, he’s mostly self-taught and played jazz drums and piano before the age of 12. He also studied production at the Leeds College Of Music. Since then he’s played festivals like SXSW and famed venues like The Jazz Cafe in London. Inspired by Prince, Stevie Wonder and Earth, Wind & Fire, he released his debut single “Catharsis” in 2019.

Showing an unwavering promise of devotion and emotional security in a relationship, his new single is filled with a deep sense of longing and hope. Taken from his upcoming album “Extraordinary”, expected on April 24th, this song is an ear-stroking, nostalgic slow jam. Effortlessly blending smooth 70s/80s soul and creamy R&B, it starts with a mellow synth, before being joined by a soft beat and sweet strings. And with his luscious vocal harmonies, this soulful groove is a true sonic treat.
