Donell Jones Preps ‘New Album & Tour’

The new album is also set to include the first single, “Love Like This” which is already climbing the charts at Urban AC where it’s currently at #12 with a bullet, rapidly approaching Top 10.

An Atlanta native, Donell Jones is an American R&B singer who escaped a gang-blighted upbringing to gain respect as a singer-songwriter and producer. Despite being born the son of gospel music legend Bobby Jones, Jones’ upbringing was rough. He struggled between wanting to be a musician and a member of a street gang. Solid songwriting skills earned him credits as author of several hits including Usher’s 1995 hit “Think Of You” and 702’s “Get It Together.” He released his debut solo effort, My Heart, in 1996. This was followed up by his Platinum-selling sophomore album, “Where I Wanna Be,” which included the hits “U Know What’s Up”, a collaboration with Lisa “Left-Eye” Lopes which reached #1 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks Chart, and the title track “Where I Wanna Be,” which peaked at #2 on the same chart.

Three subsequent albums gained respectable positions in the Billboard 200 album charts, with 2002’s Life Goes On reaching number two.
