It makes me feel like I’m on an island ready to whine my waist.

For this song, Jones taps into a mixture of Reggae and African elements to create this sound and it works. The title track “100% Free” is the last lyric infused song on the album.

This song brings the heat, sex appeal, and Jones’ makes it clear that he is not playing games. When my guitar player put the guitar on it, it just took it over the top and the lyrics flowed”. I asked Jones about his production process creating this song to which he replied, “…It’s kinda hard to explain how I come up with these things, but it’s a feeling. When I first listened to this song, it gave me a nostalgic feel reminiscence of late ‘90s early ‘00s R&B. We all know Donell Jones for creating these smooth slow jams that make you want to be boo’d up with your lover, and the fourth track “Serious” is no exception. It’s that message of truly loving and embracing yourself, that sets the tone for the entire album. One of my favorite lines from this song is when Jones sings, “90 percent is mental, change the way you think is the key it’s essential”. The lyrical content is what keeps us there. On the very first track titled “Fresh”, Jones draws us in with a beat that makes you want to step out on the scene. I had the amazing opportunity to speak with Jones exclusively at his album release press conference, where he broke down each track and let us know what it truly means to be 100% Free. This seven-track album explores Jones’ versatility by tapping into different genres of music but also staying true to his R&B roots.

100% Free is unlike any Donell Jones’ album we’ve heard before. It’s been seven years since the singer’s last project and I’d have to say, we have missed his incredible music. 90’s R&B Sensation Donell Jones is back with a brand new album 100% Free.
