4ward Fast 03:35
Troubles try to break me down I won’t let them break me down Can we try to straighten it out Forward fast to future now I’m coming home to you There is nowhere else that i would rather be You're all I need baby Everything else is just a luxury Though I've been away for much too long Here with you is right where I belong Troubles try to break me down I won’t let them break me down Can we try to straighten it out Forward fast to future now I was running away Didn’t know that you would be my saving grace No single word to say No goodbyes - I didn’t leave a trace Now I’m dying out here in the cold Open up your door - baby I’m coming home Troubles try to break me down I won’t let them break me down Can we try to straighten it out Forward fast to future now

I wanna dance like nobody is looking I’m in the kitchen, but I dont know what we're cooking What am I trying to prove? Does it even matter anyway? If I dont make it now, come back another day I just want an excuse To stop the clock and go offline I want to turn off the news Maybe I just need a little time (hook) Let me find the time To get my head around it I've got to love myself I need some time to think Before I can sound it Before I give it to someone else Time is precious, so I don’t want waste mine And everybody's tryin to tell me how to live my life I’m lookin for a way, for a sense of direction But only find it when I look at my reflection Give me some time here on my own I just wanna be left alone Too many voices in my ear I need some peace in my head so i can hear What I’m trying to tell myself To figure it out without your help Just what is cooking in my kitchen A few highs and lows that I’m still missing (hook) Let me find the time To get my head around it I've got to love myself I need some time to think Before I can sound it Before I give it to someone else

Let's Fight 04:16
People will say many things But they shouldn’t They will try to break us up But they couldn’t No they can’t do that (do that – do that) No they can’t do that (do that – do that) I’m feeling stronger than ever And it’s because of you We’re even stronger together You cant deny the truth No you can’t do that (do that – do that) No they can’t do that (do that – do that) (hook) So let’s fight Opposites attract like day and night But they can’t separate us Let’s fight Back against back – let them attack You know they cant break us Let’s fight Sometimes it might seem Like the world is against us They will try to make us crack But they can’t do that (no they can’t do that) You put me in your prayers Every single time Nothing ever felt this way For you I’d give my life You know I would do that (do that – do that) You know I would do that (do that – do that) Beautiful got a new meaning When you let me inside I’m forever changed since I’ve seent it And we created new life Did we really do that (do that – do that) Can’t believe we did that (do that – do that) (hook) So let’s fight Opposites attract like day and night But they can’t separate us Let’s fight Back against back – let them attack You know they cant break us Let’s fight Sometimes it might seem Like the world is against us They will try to make us crack But they can’t do that (no they can’t do that) When Im all broken down When Im stuck and cant get out When I need a release You’re the only one who can do that for me When I feel so alone When Im loosing control When I’ve nowhere go You’re the only one who sees – the only one knows (Repeat) (hook) So let’s fight Opposites attract like day and night But they can’t separate us Let’s fight Back against back – let them attack You know they cant break us Let’s fight Sometimes it might seem Like the world is against us They will try to make us crack But they can’t do that (no they can’t do that)

There’s no words to describe what you’ve done to me And we dont have to talk about it I put my heart out there for everyone to see For you to take a piece of it And you know that I’m all yours But maybe thats just not enough So if I lose myself in here Are you gonna be the one to pick me up (hook) When I’m down and out Not shure about Just where we’re going to When I lose my sight In the darkest night My only light is you Will you pick me up? We must be on some telepathic energy You take the words right out of my mouth I love the melody that you sing to me Seems you got me figured out And you know that im all yours Hope thats gonna be enough When I’m face down on the floor Are you gonna be the one to pick me up (hook) When I’m down and out Not shure about Just where we’re going to When I lose my sight In the darkest night My only light is you Will you pick me up?

about

Jonas has been hailed as the Godfather of Scandinavian Soul by international media. In 2016 he was awarded Artist of the Year and Best Video at the Scandinavian Soul Music Awards in Stockholm. For more than 20 years Jonas has been making a name for himself in soul music, released tons of music and toured all over the world. Having crossed paths over the years with some of the biggest names in neo-soul, like Omar, John Legend, Joss Stone, Lynden David Hall and Bilal, Jonas has so far ticked most of the boxes on his wishlist.

Since 2004, Jonas has spent a lot of time in London, and lived there for some years, as he married a british-westindian londoner, and established a family there. Here he also formed a musical partnership with multi-instrumentalist and producer The Scratch Professer, who is the brother of UK soul legend Omar. The two had an instant magical connection, and a few of the songs they penned together, ended up on Jonas’ 2nd album “W.A.I.T.T.” from 2009.

A handfull of those songs, that have been hiding in the vault for many years, are just now coming up to the surface. The 4 songs on “4ward Fast To Future”, all have the unique flavour of the special sound, that The Scratch Professer and Jonas have created together over the years. Even though the whole EP is recorded, produced, mixed and mastered in only 4 weeks, in April 2020, under corona-lockdown in Jonas’ family apartment in Copenhagen, it is clearly a return to the original neo-soul sound of his early career.
