With his soulful debut single, HJ Soul steps onto the scene with cinematic flair and emotional gravity.
Meet HJ Soul, a rising force in the new wave of R&B and Neo-soul, blending introspection, elegance, and a voice that lands somewhere between velvet and gravity. With his debut single ‘Unbreakable’, the UK-based singer-songwriter introduces himself with intention, depth, and a sound that hits somewhere between a therapy session and a movie score.
Known initially for his reimaginings of classic soul, HJ’s evolution into a fully-formed artist is clear from the first note. ‘Unbreakable’ is a slow-burning ballad of resilience: lush, cinematic, and emotionally raw. Think early Tom Misch soulfulness, with the quiet strength of Daniel Caesar and the meditative warmth of Cleo Sol. Layered with ethereal harmonies, female backing vocals, and a striking spoken word outro, the track builds with quiet confidence into something undeniably powerful.
“This song has a movie feel to it,” HJ Soul explains, “it is a song that inspires individuals to make it through the most challenging times taking you through a journey of introspection of a soul with an unbreakable spirit.”
There’s something sacred in how he writes: each lyric feels lived-in, drawn from deep wells of reflection and personal truth. ‘Unbreakable’ doesn’t just introduce HJ Soul to the world, it establishes him as a voice worth sitting still for.
