J. Brown’s “Just A Matter Of Time”: A Valentine’s Day Gift for R&B Lovers

R&B sensation J. Brown continues his chart-topping reign with the unstoppable momentum of his latest single, “TRUE LOVE,” which holds strong at #17 on the Billboard R&B charts this week. This milestone further cements Brown’s impressive track record, marking his eighth Top 20 Billboard R&B hit in just five years. His impact on the genre remains undeniable, following his two #1 Billboard R&B hits in 2024—“My Whole Heart” (which held the top spot for three weeks) and “If You Could See You”, which dominated for two weeks.

Now, J. Brown is set to make an even bigger splash with the release of his highly anticipated third studio album, “JUST A MATTER OF TIME,” dropping this Friday, February 14th—just in time for Valentine’s Day. The album promises to be a masterful blend of soul, vulnerability, and raw emotion, offering listeners a journey through love, heartbreak, and self-discovery.

“TRUE LOVE”: A Battle Worth Fighting For

The album’s lead single, “TRUE LOVE,” is more than just a song—it’s a soul-stirring anthem of devotion and resilience. J. Brown describes it as a tribute to anyone who has ever stood tall for love, despite the odds, the wounds, and the battles.

“Even if I’m the last man on the battlefield, I’ll fight for True Love,” Brown passionately declares. With gripping lyrics and an undeniable sense of urgency, “True Love” reminds us all that love, in its purest form, is worth every struggle.

The single’s emotionally charged visuals, directed by Michael Vaughn Hernandez, bring this narrative to life. The music video is a cinematic representation of love as a battlefield—where the ultimate prize isn’t victory, but connection, healing, and unity. Through striking imagery, the video captures the resilience and devotion that define true love, showing a man fighting through heartbreak and fear to hold onto something real.

A Creative Journey of Honesty & Emotion

With “Just A Matter Of Time,” J. Brown embraces his evolution, both as an artist and as a man. This album is the result of seven months of deep, honest musical conversations, shaped by the guidance of GRAMMY® Award-winning producer and songwriter Carvin Haggins (known for his work with Will Smith, Jill Scott, and Musiq Soulchild).

“I wanted to create an album where I was in a space of total creativity,” Brown reflects. “When Carvin called and suggested we get back in the studio, we knew this had to be something real—something that reflected the essence of love, pain, and growth. That’s what R&B needs today.”

One of the standout tracks, “Are You Still Mad,” explores the raw emotions of relationship struggles with haunting authenticity. Featuring heartfelt lyrics like, “It’s been eight days, I gave space, I hate to fight with you, can we call a truce?”, the song speaks to anyone who has ever navigated the highs and lows of love.

A Stellar Lineup of Collaborators & Producers

Brown’s latest project is a testament to collaboration and musical brilliance. He teams up once again with the extraordinary Elijah Blake, alongside powerhouse producer Roark Bailey—a name behind hits for Saweetie, Summer Walker, Kanye West, and Chris Brown. Their work together results in “MAH DEAR,” a track infused with nostalgic undertones reminiscent of Sam Cooke, delivering a soulful yet modern tribute to timeless R&B.

The album’s title, “Just A Matter Of Time,” was an organic revelation, rather than a calculated decision. “As the project came together, it became clear that this was a story of the highs and lows of love—a man’s journey of wanting, finding, and sometimes losing it,” Brown shares. “Naming the album Just A Matter Of Time just felt right. I promise it will resonate deeply with listeners.”

A Valentine’s Day Soundtrack for the Soul

With “Just A Matter Of Time,” J. Brown delivers a soulful, heartfelt chronicle of love, growth, and resilience, blending the best elements of classic Philadelphia International Records and the timeless Motown sound. This album isn’t just music—it’s an experience, one that captures the essence of R&B’s golden era while pushing the genre forward.
