JEROME THOMAS - That Secret Sauce LP

Hackney’s Jerome Thomas redefines modern soul with this organic debut, blending rare groove sensibilities with a distinct 90s R&B grit. His buttery vocals glide effortlessly over a live six-piece band, delivering a rich sonic palette of jazz-infused funk and seductive ad-libs. Pressed on limited smoked and black vinyl, this release captures a warm, analogue depth that digital formats simply cannot replicate. Every track feels remarkably alive, moving from heart-wrenching melodies to floor-focused rhythms with technical precision. This is essential wax for those seeking a contemporary bridge between the classic Marvin Gaye era and today’s soul underground.
