Gareth Donkin - Never Gonna Break Your Heart (Single)

London singer songwriter and producer Gareth Donkin is stepping into a new chapter with Extraordinary, his upcoming album set for release this April. The project follows his 2023 debut Welcome Home, a lush, self produced record that blended the warmth of 70s soul with the intimacy of modern bedroom pop, earning praise for its rich soundscapes and nods to icons like Earth, Wind & Fire, Prince and Michael Jackson.

One of the album’s standout moments arrives in the slow burn single “Never Gonna Break Your Heart.” What begins as a hushed, hymn like confession gradually opens into sweeping strings and velvety chords, echoing the romance of classic 80s R&B. It’s the kind of late night closer that leans into Donkin’s softer side, breathy, vulnerable and quietly magnetic.

Donkin’s momentum has been building steadily. After appearing on De La Soul’s Cabin In The Sky in 2025, he has continued to win support across radio and press, from Jazz FM and BBC Radio 2 to tastemakers like Clash and KCRW.

If Extraordinary lives up to its name, Gareth Donkin might just be stepping into his biggest moment yet.
