We finally got Donell Jones on the SoulBack podcast! We’ve seen so many requests from the readers to bring in the smooth R&B singer as a special guest, so we had to make it happen. We talk to him about his new music, his upcoming collaboration with Jon B as well as his involvement in Jacquees’ career. He also clears the air about his actual name and if it actually is Darnell Jones. We also touch on new music from India Arie, Ciara plus much more. We also talk about Ella Mai’s struggles to name three Aretha Franklin songs as well as the Jussie Smollet controversy.
