Text excerpt from the artist:

"True to its name, Extraordinary, Gareth Donkin's second album widens the scale of his virtuosic soul-pop songcraft not just on a sonic level, but in a profoundly personal way. A step wiser and more confident, fresh off a feature on De La Soul’s new album, the London-based singer-songwriter and producer lets go of past constructs to celebrate the present tense with his most sophisticated, vast, and dazzling work to date, nodding to disco, R&B, and funk greats with playful charisma and modern sheen. He says, "Extraordinary is about taking ownership of your life, embracing new experiences and adventure."

What happens after a coming-of-age album? Donkin, now 25, at the peak of his powers, would say life keeps going, it doesn't get any easier, "but you learn more about yourself, who you once were, who you are now, and what you truly want." Released on art-forward label drink sum wtr, Donkin's 2023 breakthrough full-length debut, Welcome Home, resonated far and wide — from BBC Radio to Billboard ("a soul-savant") — and brought him to SXSW for the first time. Yet his struggles to find happiness during its rollout came to a head following the release, in a year marked by setbacks and heartbreak. His first impulse was to reach for romanticised fantasy, culminating in the cathartic Suite Escape EP in 2024. "Once the EP was complete, I found myself in a much clearer headspace to dive into this new project," he adds. "I enlisted the help of some incredible musicians and artists who saw the vision and ran with it.” Extraordinary guests include ESME, Kiefer, and UHMEER, with contributions from Shaan Ramaprasad (Jamila Woods, Teddy Swims), Disclosure's Howard Lawrence, and many others..."
