The latest release from Jerome Thomas, "Absence," sounds like a tasteful mixture of Maxwell and the late great D'Angelo, with its soulful, nostalgic allure.

The UK-based Jerome Thomas is known for diving deep into the oceans of deep harmony and melodic tales of love, sorrow, elation, and frustration. This time around, thematically, he takes us through the distance between where you are and where someone you love is, along with the associated tension. Makzo and Lucid Green's production on here is absolutely smooth - the guitars are warm, the drums are slick, and the keys exude this dreamy appeal, which beautifully complements Jerome's angelic vocal performance.

"This track is about reassuring a loved one that geographical distance doesn't mean emotional distance," says Jerome Thomas.
