About this product
True to it's name, Extraordinary, Gareth Donkin's second album widens the scale of his virtuosic soul-pop songcraft not just on a sonic level, but in a profoundly personal way. A step wiser and more confident, the London-based singer-songwriter and producer let's go of past constructs to celebrate the present tense with his most sophisticated, vast, and dazzling work to date, nodding to disco, R&B, and funk greats with playful charisma and modern sheen. He says, InchExtraordinary is about taking ownership of your life, embracing new experiences and adventure.InchDonkin's 2023 breakthrough debut, Welcome Home, resonated from BBC Radio to Billboard (Incha soul-savantInch), and brought him to US stages for the first time, and opened the door to working with a few of his heroes, including a collaborative role on the latest de la Soul record. Yet the season was marked by setbacks and heartbreak. First, he reached for fantasy with the cathartic Suite Escape EP. Then, in a clearer headspace, he enlisted a dream ensemble to realize his next vision, including ESME, Kiefer, UHMEER, Shaan Ramaprasad, and Disclosure's Howard Lawrence.Donkin's made a name for himself as an old soul, one-man-band in the ilk of Prince and Stevie Wonder, often seen on socials assembling songs with mystifying ease. Like past work, Extraordinary captures this undeniable talent and charm. What sets the record apart is the expanse in which these virtues shine. InchIt just sounds bigger, more current,Inch he adds. From unifying anthems to drama-shedding declarations, Donkin unlocks the kind of optimism that can only come from hard work on yourself. Album Tracks 1. Out Here 2. Where Did We Go? Kiefer 3.

Written and recorded in a series of bedroom studios in England and France, London-based Gareth Donkin's extraordinary debut, Welcome Home, showcases the 23-year-old's stunning mix of instrumental virtuosity and emotional intuition, blending highly sophisticated melodic and harmonic craftsmanship with deeply moving lyrical explorations of longing, desire, and determination. The songs here draw on soul, funk, pop, yacht rock, hip-hop, jazz, and even bossa nova, hinting at times to everything from Michael Jackson and Bill Evans to George Benson and Jamiroquai, and Donkin's performances are nothing short of mesmerizing, layering up instrument after instrument in the best one-man-band tradition of Prince or Stevie Wonder. The result is a moving work that's equal parts brain and brawn, a masterful coming-of-age self-portrait from a young artist discovering himself-and his sound-one song at a time. Born with perfect pitch, Donkin was already fanatically obsessed with both jazz piano and drums before he turned twelve. In high school, he began DJing and teaching himself to record and sample, and by the time he headed to the Leeds College of Music to pursue a degree in production, he was already writing and recording his own material at home. His first single, InchCatharsis,Inch would go on to rack up more than a million streams on Spotify, and a series of subsequent tracks would find similarly organic success and help land him a deal with the burgeoning drink sum wtr tag. Album Tracks 1. Till the End of Time (Night Sky) 2. Something Different 3. Whenever 4. Nothing We Can't Get Through 5. By Your Side 6. Falling for You 7. Don't Turn the Music Down 8.
