We’d be safe to dare to lose control Can you hear it? A voice thats calling you so clearly You ought to know Time is right now Go and tell your people get ready All systems go Wake up now Dig a little deeper with me You ought to know A change is coming Go and tell your people get ready All systems go Why let fear control you? All the light they stole is Glowing where it always was We’ve been deceived, you’ll discover All you can imagine All they dream about is More than possible If you believe Come with me We shouldn’t be afraid to run Towards the truth that is the shining sun Do you believe? That miracles will happen every day Can you hear it? A voice thats calling you so clearly You ought to know Time is right now Go and tell your people get ready All systems go Wake up now Dig a little deeper with me You ought to know A change is coming Go and tell your people get ready All systems go K.

You’re the Sheba to my Solomon But he’s wiser and I’m still trying to master patience Time may bring us through some ups and downs But with you around I feel true emancipation Till waters run dry Till the earth gon hit the sky I’ll be there for you Whatever you like Till day turns into night Till every wrong is right Till that day I wanna be in your life Every moment that I spend with you I learn something new It’s like looking over scripture You release me from this foolish pride When I’m by your side I’m so very glad that I’m with ya Till waters run dry Till the earth gon hit the sky I’ll be there for you Whatever you like Till day turns into night Till every wrong is right Till that day I wanna be in your life Queen of all things These diamonds they don’t compare Turning poets to kings In the palm of your hand I’ll take you there Till waters run dry Till the earth gon hit the sky I’ll be there for you Whatever you like Till day turns into night Till every wrong is right Till that day I wanna be in your life Everybody talking bout “time gon change us” We’re living our lives, and I’m gonna try Everybody talking bout “time gon change us” We’re living our lives, and I’m gonna try Till waters run dry Till the earth gon hit the sky I’ll be there for you Whatever you like Till day turns into night Till every wrong is right Till that day I wanna be in your life

Other people scare my socks off Think I’m better here alone Ain’t got time to invest in your song Think I'd rather sing my own But I keep running back to you Something bout the things you do Keeps me enjoying the pain I know I need to run away But something makes me stay You got the power to Keep me comin back home My network is a web of vultures I can see them on the prawl They just wanna get a piece of me Before everybody falls But I keep running back to you Something bout the things you do Keeps me enjoying the pain I know I need to run away But something makes me stay You got the power to Keep me comin back home They’re ready to pick my bones And steal my soul Swallow me whole I just want to grow, to get old But this world is so cold They’re ready to pick my bones And steal my soul Swallow me whole I just want to grow, to get old But this world is so cold

I found my way And I refuse to ever turn back again Cause all this stressing out Just dont make no sense All this pretend Plays with my head Walking the rope Without a safetynet or anywhere to go My head’s in the clouds Alone with these thoughts That effortlessly floats Then something rocks my boat I fall down Stumble on something On the ground Hold on to nothing But your sound Lifting me to a place Where I’m safe Now I can see It’s not about what others want me to be Didn’t know that I was Lost in the dark Created by me Come and set me free Please show me more Think I’m ready now to go out and explore Strip myself of all this pride Go back inside There's nowhere to hide Now I've opened up this door I fall down Stumble on something On the ground Hold on to nothing But your sound Lifting me to a place Where I’m safe There's no more Fear up against me I’m restored Now I can let me Love more And lift me up to a place Where I’m safe

Seems I’m on the outside looking in Does anybody know that you're sinking From here it seems you're floating in the clouds And it’s a hard fall coming down Crazy what it takes to get on solid ground Every time I reach out my hand I watch you fly - I watch you flying by I’m waving flag where you should land But you just pass me by It seems that you're a million miles away Never staying too long in one place We used to see eachother eye to eye Now it seems you're living a lie Crazy what it takes to get on solid ground Every time I reach out my hand I watch you fly - I watch you flying by I’m waving flag where you should land But you just pass me by You're so far away, far away I cant make you stay, make you stay You're always flying so high Almost outta sight I cant get to you, get to you If i could just get thru, just break thru What are you trying to escape Why are you so afraid

about

“All Systems Go” is the first single, and the title of the the new EP by danish soul music pioneer Jonas.

After more than 20 years in the music business, Jonas has a CV that will impress most people. He has been crowned the Godfather of Scandinavian soul by international media, and has worked with some of the biggest artists on the soul music scene, like John Legend, Omar, Joss Stone, Lynden David Hall and Bilal. He has toured with his music in most parts of the world, and in 2016 won the awards for Artist of the Year and Best Video at the annual Scandinavian Soul Music Awards.

When the whole world first closed down, in the spring of 2020, and all concerts were cancelled, Jonas set up a studio in his home in Copenhagen, and only became more inspired and productive. This led him to create the EP “4ward Fast To Future” in collaboration with The Scratch Professer, which was released in May 2020. He is now ready to put out the new EP “All Systems Go”, which is made up of 5 songs that have been in the vault for some time, written together with high profile artists from the UK and US. For Jonas, the corona lockdown was a well needed break, that gave him the time to finally finish these songs, so that they can now be presented to the world.

Even though the majority of the songs from the new EP were written in a different time, the sentiments that they present today are more relevant than ever. The song “All Systems Go” is a great example of that. It features rapper Kuku Agami, who is also part of the group Sweathop, together with Jonas and the swedish producer Daniel Fridell, and Basement Jaxx front-singer Sharlene Hector, who is a friend from London, and one of Jonas’ favorite singers, and is call for people to stand together against injustice and segregation. It tells us to dare to dream about a better world, and to resist the forces that are trying to divide us.

“The world is becoming more and more polarized. No matter whether you are in US, UK, Denmark or anywhere else. In many ways the corona pandemic has only made it worse. “All Systems Go” is about going against a system that is trying to make us hate each other. There’s more money and power in playing us out against eachother. Let’s not fall for that.” Jonas says

The musical landscape of “All Systems Go” is in an organic neo-soul universe, which has become Jonas’ trademark sound for more than 2 decades. It embodies catchy melodies, real instruments and soulful vocal arrangements.

“I have come to the realisation of what defines my sound. I no longer have to doubt what it is, or try to please anyone. My music is coming from a place of being mature, and mostly deals with love. Acceptance of love, loving yourself and your fellow humans.”
