 Title: Good Lovin’ (feat. Keshia Love) Artist: Jadyn Ghalen From: TBA (2025) Release Date: June 1, 2025 Length: 4:23 Format: CD Single • Digital Download • 7” Single • Weekly Airplay Recorded: Sonic Lounge Studios, Atlanta, Georgia, USA Genre(s): Hip-Hop • Rap • RnB Label: Tric-Jam Records • Dahlhouse Entertainment Written: February 2025 Writer(s): Jadyn Ghalen • Keshia Love Producer(s): Jadyn Ghalen • Young Khalifa “Good Lovin’” (feat. Keshia Love) is a hip-hop single by American hip-hop and trap artist Jadyn Ghalen, featuring RnB artist Keshia Love. Released on June 1, 2025 as the fourth single from his upcoming debut solo album, the track marks the first collaborative single from the album and the first collaborative single with Ghalen as the primary artist, having previously been the featured artist on tracks for both Alicia Lena and Layla in recent months. The track sees Ghalen stepping away from the trap sound that he explored on previous singles “Butterflies” and “Don’t Get Too Comfortable” and shifting back to the hip-hop and rap sound that fans had grown familiar with throughout his time as a member of hip-hop trio Orion. Working alongside Keshia Love on a track was first hinted at by Ghalen way back in 2023 during a Half-Moon Music interview with Ashford York, with the team-up not happening until Ghalen finally stepped into his solo era in early 2025, flying Keshia Love out to the recording studio in Atlanta and working on the track around February 2025 with producer Young Khalifa. Ahead of the singles announcement and release in May 2025, the pair were spotted out together in California causing rumours to circulate around their relationship which was quickly shut down initially by Keshia Love and then re-affirmed when Ghalen posted the artwork for the official single, with a music video for the track dropping a couple of days before the single release which garnered a positive response from fans of both artists. Early reviews of the track from Pitchfork and The FADER praised its unashamed vivid imagery with the former stating, “Good Lovin’ oozes sexual tension from its first note. Jadyn Ghalen trades his usual war-ready and braggadocios flows for something far more intimate. A slower-paced hushed confessional layered over soft seductive drums and warm R&B textures. Keshia Love’s voice is pure RnB, rich and velvety, drips with desire as she sings of connection and craving. This is Ghalen right where he shines best, at his most exposed and honest, sex, soul, and vulnerability all bleeding into each bar." and the latter, “There’s a heat to Good Lovin’ that feels almost too personal to be shared publicly. The chemistry between Ghalen and Keshia Love is electric, despite their protestations there’s an undeniable fire between the pair from the playful intro, those moaning sounds sounded real to be faked and lyrics too visual to be fictional. While Ghalen’s softer tone rides the beat like a slow grind, Keshia Love’s sultry hook turns every line into a whispered promise. It's hip-hop music stripped of its bravado, replaced by sweat, longing, and late-night honesty under the instrumental of a smooth RnB late-night mood-setter. The passion throughout is palpable.” The track was written and recorded by Jadyn Ghalen and Keshia Love, produced by Ghalen alongside producer Young Khalifa at Sonic Lounge Studios during the Atlanta recording sessions of his debut album which has become the primary hub for the majority of the record. The tracks release marks the fourth official single from his upcoming debut studio album which is expected around late August with the latest single set to be released on CD Single, Digital Download, 7” Single and Weekly Airplay from June 1, 2025.
Background, Writing and RecordingWritten and recorded around February 2025 during recording sessions in Atlanta, Georgia with his longtime collaborator and producer Young Khalifa, Jadyn flew fellow Tric-Jam Records labelmate Keshia Love out to Atlanta to record the track together. The tracks instrumental had a strong RnB sound to it and it was his belief that Keshia was one the best RnB vocalists in the industry right now and an artist that had a strong hip-hop sensibility too which would perfectly blend the two genres in the way that he had envisioned for the instrumental version of the track. Once together in the studio, the pair worked on ideas for the tracks lyrical content and began the writing process, with lyrics that center around lustful passion and a physical connection, the track was born blending the traditional RnB trope of bedroom music with the graphical lyrical content of modern day hip-hop music in order to create this vividly sexual track. The songs intro mimicking sounds of pleasure immediately showcasing the intentions of the track were recorded by Keshia, with the belief that it would immediately grab the listeners attention and give an authenticity to the songs theme from the outset. The beat and instrumentation of the track was crafted primarily by producer Young Khalifa alongside Jadyn Ghalen, with the instrumentation built around a piano loop, hi-hat and soft drum beat giving the track a strong blended feel of an RnB/Hip-Hop hybrid of a track with the feeling that the vocals of Keshia Love would add an authenticity to the RnB vibe of the instrumentation while not veering too far from the traditional hip-hop elements expected from a Jadyn Ghalen track. The pair recorded their vocals over a two day recording session, marking a relatively quick turnaround between songs inception to completion. With Keshia Love flying back out to California following the recording sessions and being sent the finished product just days after the sessions. It's believed that Jadyn’s long-term ambition is to be viewed as an artist that has various crossover appeal and to be seen as an artist that could work alongside other artists of various differing genres, working alongside a strong RnB vocalist of the nature of Keshia Love is one that allowed him to stretch his own boundaries as a vocalist himself. Despite being primarily a rapper and hip-hop artist, there has been an increase in singing vocals littered throughout his early solo work as opposed to his time as a member of hip-hop trio Orion, showcasing a melodic sensibility to his vocal range that he appears likely to expand upon throughout his own solo career.
Songwriter’s CommentaryQuote:“This track came from a place I wasn’t expecting to find myself, that smooth and soulful RnB style ain’t something I naturally see myself but I knew that Khalifa would try to come up with some leftfield shit during these recording sessions and I like the idea of trying to challenge myself in that way. For me, it’s all about authenticity so anything I deliver will always have that trademark tone and flow, but sharing vocal harmony’s and shit like that really pushes me to expand my own range as an artist. I’ve always said I don’t want to be boxed in completely because I know how easy it is for a hip-hop artist to get stuck in that same lane for their entire career, like shit I can envisage myself recording an RnB record someday, jumping on a track with rock artists and recording stuff on a bigger scope with orchestra’s and string sections. I want this debut album to lay the foundations of who I am, hip-hop and trap heavy no doubt. But we expand that as we progress and this is a hint of blending other genres into what I do perfectly.
As soon as I heard the instrumentation on that first full playthrough, I knew this required some female vocals in there somewhere. I’ve got a lot of respect for Keshia’s work, we signed to the same label around the same time with Orion and she’s built herself to the point where she’s one of the big hitters in the industry. “Midnight Session” was the track that started to make me take real notice and she been killing it ever since. I think her debut album is crazy underrated, legit one of the best RnB albums I’ve ever heard. I always had Keshia in mind as somebody I’d want to work with one day, but hearing the instrumental track, I could just hear her vocals fitting that perfectly and I knew she’d bring it lyrically cause she’s one of those rare artists that ain’t afraid of protecting an image, she’s open to writing shit that a lot of other artists shy away from and I respect that about her.
She came in and brought different ideas to the table, killed it with her vocal, brought this sensual feminine energy to the track that just balanced everything where it was needed and switched that shit up to deliver a passionate animalistic vocal delivery on the lines that demanded that crazy sexuality. From my position, this is track that probably would have been recorded and thrown away if it was just me on the take. But adding that female vocalist of the level of Keshia into the mix, just brought it up to a higher level. That shit is humbling to me, for real. I give all the flowers to Keshia on this one, no doubt.”

Song DescriptionThe track begins with moaning sounds of pleasure before Jadyn’s voice can be heard saying, “Fuck, you taste so good.” and is then followed by Keshia responding in a breathy voice, “I’m glad you like, hehe” delivering a small giggle before the instrumentation kicks in for the track to truly begin. Hi-hats and a soft drum reverb can be heard to open the song with a melodic piano melody coming through to indicate a smooth RnB vibe to the song immediately, giving the song a slower tempo as Jadyn delivers a more slower-paced delivery of his opening rap verse against the backdrop of a RnB soundscape, “Your pussy’s a paradise, shouldn’t have ever let me inside/I’ve been sinning my whole life/You’re feeding into my addictions tonight/Wet and tight, deadly combination, got me face down, feasting/Hands on my head, thrusting hips sending me deeper/I can feel your thighs shudder/As the nectar tastes sweeter.” as the slower delivery allows more time for the descriptive lyrical content to linger in the air, creating a combination of sensual music with vivid and lustful lyrics, “Screaming my name, begging for more, deeper and deeper/She putting on a real show/She a lil freaky one/Likes her pleasure with her pain/She likes me biting down, goes crazy for that nipple play/She got abs for days, crafted by the gods/But when that tongue in play, she knows who’s boss.”The RnB elements to the song are showcased more evidently during the tracks hook as Keshia showcases her smooth vocal delivery perfectly during the tracks hook, “Tell me how you want it?/Baby, I’mma give you good lovin’/Tell me how you want it?/Baby, I’mma give you good lovin’.” which is then followed up by layered vocal harmonies between both Keshia and Jadyn during the songs chorus with Keshia’s vocal more prominent and Jadyn’s vocal layered just underneath to add a slightly more atmospheric sound together, “You know how I like it/Tell me baby, exactly how you want it/I’mma give you all I’ve got/Yeah, you’ve got it/I’mma give you good lovin’/Cause we fuck like crazy, we ain’t stuntin’/I’mma give you all I’ve got/Yeah, you’ve got it/Cause we fuck like crazy, we ain’t stuntin’/I’mma give you good lovin’/Give you good lovin’.” which showcases the combination of both vocalists together despite their different tones, Keshia’s traditional smooth RnB delivery matching well with Jadyn’s deeper vocal tone. The following verse see’s Keshia take center stage, combining her smooth RnB vocal style with a hip-hop inspired rhythm and cadence, she delivers her lines with a sultry and alluring tone that adds to the overall vibe of the track, her seductiveness in her voice shining throughout the verse over a strong rhythmic beat and melodic backdrop, “Whisper in my ear, tell me what you crave/Satin sheets and candles, let me be your fave/Fingers trace the curves, let’s lose control/The rhythm of our hearts, sweet and raw soul/Yeah, baby, let’s ride/Take your time, don’t hide/Every moan, every gasp/Got you high, what a blast/I’mma give you good lovin’.” the way in which she delivers her lines adds a special element to the track, her vocals at times almost becoming a seductive whisper before rising up in tone and inflection, mirroring a love making session that builds to a crescendo, “Underneath the moon, yeah, we be thuggin’/Cause we fuck like crazy, we ain’t stuntin’/Got that fire burnin’, heart racin’/I’mma give you all I’ve got/Got that heat, let’s explore/Feel us rise, let your love flow/Body to body, I want more/I wanna feel you in the night/Wrapped up in your body tight/Good lovin’, all night long/Ain't no limits, baby, bring it on.” which is then followed by the songs chorus and hook once more. As the final verse arrives, the tempo increases slightly as Jadyn’s delivery reverts back to his more recognizable hip-hop delivery, shedding the elements of the slower more melodic RnB style delivery showcased on the opening verse, once again a clever nod to the songs theme as the track enters its final verse, the momentum and tempo increases into a final climax, “On that no hands shit, watching how she back it up/Tight pussy got that grip/Yeah, she thinks she’s in control/Watch her body work/We got some inches left to go/Baby feels that thrust, she knows how we roll/She love when those cheeks clapping/We fucking in full motion/Love to hear those screams from a bad bitch/She flowing like an ocean/Begging for that dick like a savage/Don’t know how she coping.” which offers a more familiar rhythmic and delivery style that fans of Jadyn have grown accustomed to, but the combination of RnB elements with a hip-hop sensibility showcasing a change-up in style that does excel throughout, “She top of that pussy game when I can feel her coming/We go all through the night/Change it up, fuck like crazy, we ain’t stuntin’/I’mma give you good lovin’/Baby keeps coming/I’mma give you good lovin’”. which see’s the track conclude, with instrumentation fading out and soft breathless giggles from Keshia.
“Good Lovin’” (feat. Keshia Love)“Fuck, you taste so goodI’m glad you like it, heheYour pussy’s a paradise, shouldn’t have ever let me inside
I’ve been sinning my whole life

As the nectar tastes sweeter
Screaming my name, begging for more, deeper and deeper
