JOCELYN BROWN TALKS CAREER AND HACKNEY EMPIRE SHOW IN BBC RADIO LONDON INTERVIEW

Legendary soul and dance vocalist Jocelyn Brown has opened up about the stories behind two of her most iconic tracks in a recent interview with Robert Elms on BBC Radio London.

Brown revealed how the idea for her global club anthem “Somebody Else’s Guy” first came to life, sharing the personal inspiration and studio energy that turned the track into one of the most enduring songs in soul and disco history. The record remains a staple on dancefloors worldwide and continues to introduce new generations to her powerhouse vocals.
