![]() ![]() Donell wrote nearly all of the tracks on his debut album, My Heart, and produced seven songs. He is influenced to the likes of Stevie Wonder (“His songs are like poetry”) The Isley Brothers (“The mellowness of their music combined with their groove is something that never dies”) and Teddy Pendergrass because of his ability to “make you feel what he’s singing”.ĭonell carries the same respect for the art form as his predecessor by setting the stage for his funkladen production to serve as the pathway for lyrics of love and respect to walk hand in hand in the hood. A self – taught musician, Donell chooses to play everything himself on the tracks he produces. Not your typical singer, Donell talks in a quiet voice, and his music is reflection of the craftsmanship of musicians of yesteryear who caressed lush ballads and sensuous mid-tempo songs like they were rare, precious stones. In 1996 LaFace Records and Untouchables Entertainment introduced you to the soulful flavor of Donell Jones- the artist. Responsible for label mate Usher’s top ten single “Think Of You” amongst other songs written and/or produced for artists such as Madonna, Brownstone, Silk and Jade, Donell expressed his exceptional talent and love for music behind the scenes. ![]() You were first introduced to Donell Jones through his creative talents with a pen.
