Jacob Latimore Takes Over R&B Mondays in ATL

Jacob Latimore is gearing up for an exclusive takeover of #I❤️R&B Mondays at Suite Lounge Atlanta to celebrate the release of his new album, JL. Announced via his Instagram page, the multi-hyphenate star invited fans to “tap in” and join him for a night of fresh R&B grooves, live DJ spins, and special appearances.

Artist Profile

Born August 10, 1996, in Milwaukee, Latimore first rose to prominence as a teenage R&B singer. He released the Shadow EP in 2013, followed by his debut album Connection in 2015. Simultaneously, he built an acting résumé that includes credits in films like Black Nativity (2013), Detroit (2017), and The Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials (2015). Since 2018, he’s starred as Emmett on Showtime’s acclaimed series The Chi, earning multiple Teen Choice Award nods. This latest musical chapter underscores his evolution from promising newcomer to a fully realized artist.

Takeover Announcement

In a recent Instagram post, Latimore shared a moody club shot and the message: “ATL This Monday I’ll be taking over #I❤️R&B Mondays @suiteloungeatl to celebrate my New Album 💎JL💎. Tap in.” Fans can expect an intimate setting at Suite Lounge’s main floor, complete with state-of-the-art sound, immersive lighting, and exclusive glimpses of album tracks.

New Album Jl

JL is Latimore’s most ambitious studio project to date, blending classic R&B silhouettes with modern production. On Instagram, he revealed the full tracklist, writing:
“R&B never left 🔥 YOUTUBE 👉🏾 💎JL💎

This lineup not only highlights heartfelt ballads but also up-tempo grooves, showcasing Latimore’s vocal range and songwriting growth.

Chart Success

The rollout for JL has already paid off on streaming platforms. In another Instagram announcement, Latimore celebrated JL landing in the Top 20 on Apple Music’s R&B/Soul album chart. He captioned the milestone post: “💎JL💎 Top 20 on Apple R&B/Soul album charts. 🙏🏾🔥 New Milestone JL! • 4.) STEP 🔊,” hinting at his track “Step” as an early fan favorite.

Promoters On Deck

Latimore credited industry partners who helped shape the event’s energy. Powered by @numogul_, @vonthePromoter, and @kennyboom, the takeover benefits from a roster of veteran Atlanta nightlife curators. Their combined expertise suggests carefully selected supporting DJs, surprise guests, and an overall premium experience.

What To Expect

Doors at Suite Lounge open at 9 p.m., offering a VIP entry option and bottle service for early attendees. The lounge, a staple in the city’s R&B and hip-hop circuit, will transform as Latimore weaves through live remixes, deep cuts from JL, and reimagined versions of past hits like “Connection.” His dual profile—TV star by day, live music host by night—creates a unique fan engagement opportunity.

Latimore’s transition from on-screen roles to music mainstay is emblematic of his dynamic career path. Following his performances at award shows and digital premieres, this takeover is one of the first times fans can experience JL tracks in a live venue setting. Photos from previous Suite Lounge R&B nights hint at a packed dance floor, ambient backdrops, and a closeness that streaming can’t replicate.

The singer’s genuine appreciation for the R&B genre shines through both his captions and his curated setlist. By spotlighting reasons why “R&B never left,” he’s reaffirming the genre’s lasting influence and cementing JL as a moment in contemporary soul music.

Latimore’s R&B Mondays takeover at Suite Lounge marks a pivotal moment for JL’s rollout, giving supporters a first-hand listen and setting the stage for future performances. With his promoters lined up and a charting album in hand, the singer looks ready to own the night—and perhaps the broader R&B conversation for 2024.
