About the EP
“Love Is Not Enough” is the debut EP by Nigerian singer, songwriter and producer Young Jonn, released on March 31, 2022 through Chocolate City Music. The five-track project marked an important step in his transition from celebrated record producer to performing artist, giving listeners a closer look at his own voice, songwriting and musical personality.
The EP features “32,” “Dada,” “Just Friends,” “Next To You” featuring Vedo and “Normally.” Across its roughly 13-minute runtime, Young Jonn builds a connected story around attraction, romance, emotional uncertainty and the complications that can follow a relationship.
The Sound
Love Is Not Enough blends Afrobeats, Afropop, R&B and dance influences, with Young Jonn’s production background clearly shaping the project’s polished and rhythmic sound. The songs move between bright percussion, smooth melodies, Afro-house touches and softer R&B-inspired moments.
The project opens with “32,” a melodic record centred on the excitement and intensity of new love. “Dada” brings a more infectious and playful energy, while “Next To You” adds American R&B singer Vedo for a smoother duet. The mood changes with “Just Friends,” before “Normally” closes the project on a more emotional note.
What the EP Is About
The EP follows the emotional progression of a relationship, beginning with the excitement of discovering someone special and gradually moving into uncertainty, distance and heartbreak.
“32” captures the happiness that comes with new affection, while “Dada” expresses strong attraction and admiration. On “Next To You,” Young Jonn and Vedo explore the desire to remain close to someone they care about. The story takes a different direction on “Just Friends,” where the possibility of remaining friends becomes a response to complicated feelings. “Normally” closes the journey with a sense of longing for a relationship that has been lost.
The title reflects the project’s central idea. Young Jonn presents love as something beautiful and necessary, but not always sufficient to sustain a relationship when other emotional realities come into play. This gives the EP a connected narrative rather than making it feel like a collection of unrelated songs.
