Jahméne has exploded back into the limelight with an amazing new sound and a look to match. His brilliant lead single ‘Is This The Time?’ from his stunning new album ‘Unfathomable Phantasmagoria’ was released on July 22nd. Jahméne has been spending time in the studio honing his own sound and writing about what matters to him. Spending time in studios across the globe Jahméne has been collaborating with some of the most revered names in the industry such as Diane Warren (Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Beyonce), Sacha Skarbek (Adele, Duffy, Miley Cyrus, Jason Mraz), Electric (Little Mix, Rihanna, The Wanted) and Jim Beanz (Timbaland, Chris Brown, Dru Hill).
Jahméne says: ‘I have been paired with some incredible people. This album wasn't ever something I was going to rush and it hasn't been easy. Each person has understood that and helped me create this labour of love allowing it to be everything I wanted.’
Jahméne has been performing to audiences all over the world including a stand out performance at the Mobo Awards plus a best newcomer nomination. As well as his passion for music Jahméne is actively involved in Woman’s Aid as a youth ambassador something very personal to him.

Jahméne is signed to a new independent label Moonshot and excited about introducing this album to his fans and the industry. By design Jahméne has had much more creative input and has co-written many of the tracks including his first single ‘Is This The Time?’ alongside Max Marshall and Electric. The track showcases his breath-taking vocals with a haunting opera style intro inspired by the futuristic opera singer in the film 5th Element.
The making of this album has allowed Jahméne to fully explore his abilities as a songwriter as well as a vocalist to reaffirm his place in the industry as a major talent fusing R&B with soul and gospel. The album ‘Unfathomable Phantasmagoria’ is released today.
‘This somehow feels like my debut album. I've lived and breathed these songs. These are the songs, emotions and sounds that have been stirring in my heart ever since I was young and I'm so grateful that I can now share that with you all’.
