Jaylon has always existed between worlds. A Nigerian-born, Bristol-based producer and songwriter with a sharp ear for melodic texture and rhythmic fluidity, he’s quietly been pushing the edges of Afro R&B for years. Now, with the release of Baby Boy, Jaylon steps fully into view—delivering an EP that feels intimate yet expansive, nostalgic yet future-facing.
The project is a lush collection of genre-bending vignettes, threaded together by Jaylon’s signature touch: subtle, emotive production that puts feeling front and centre.
Collaborations with artists like Anjeli, Phaemous, and Azanti don’t just round out the tracklist—they illuminate Jaylon’s intuitive grasp of chemistry and storytelling. These are songs that breathe, that move with elegance, that make you pause before you dance.
There’s a rich multicultural spirit running through Baby Boy, forged from Jaylon’s time in Ibadan and Lagos and reimagined through Bristol’s underground pulse. It’s not just about sound—it’s about identity. The EP feels like the sonic version of a borderless passport, brimming with sunlight, longing, and celebration.
But this isn’t just about movement—it’s about meaning. Baby Boy is where Jaylon lets go, leans into joy, and opens up space for vulnerability. It’s where he proves that Afro R&B isn’t confined to trends or formulas—it can be minimal, experimental, heartfelt, and global all at once.
In a landscape full of noise, Jaylon delivers something quieter but more lasting. Baby Boy isn’t just another Afro-fusion release—it’s a statement of intent from an artist unafraid to feel, and unafraid to evolve.
