‘Not Alone’
Eighth Studio Album
Some records are made. Some are excavated.
Vin Deca’s eighth studio album, Not Alone, arrives on 3 July 2026 as the kind of record that only a lifetime of discipline can produce—eleven tracks that move between global pop, soul, and R&B with the fluency of someone who has never needed to choose between feeling and craft.
Born in Cameroon into a musical lineage—his father Zachariah Halle Azoh-Mbi among the country’s pioneering commercial producers—Vin Deca spent his formative years not listening to records from a distance but building them from the inside. Composer, keyboardist, technical engineer: the roles were never separate. They were the same vocation. That dual mastery—the melodic instinct and the architectural precision—is what makes Not Alone sound the way it does: inevitable.
After relocating to Germany, Vin Deca built his technical foundations through rigorous self-directed study—acoustics, engineering, the physics of sound in rooms. His dorm room became a studio. That deliberateness eventually found its formal arena: he enrolled at SAE Institute and graduated with flying colors. The instinct had been right all along. That precision never left him. Today he operates a full music ecosystem in Braunschweig: recording studio, record label, publishing company. He is not an artist who outsources the sound of his vision. He is the sound of his vision.
His 2020 breakthrough Jollily established his transatlantic range—American and European pop, Latin and Cuban music, soul, funk, dance—and the intervening years have only deepened the palette. Not Alone is the culmination of that broadening: a record that moves freely across styles because it is not bound by any of them, anchored instead by a voice and a sensibility that are entirely his own.
“Eleven tracks. A lifetime of discipline.
A sound built for the world.”
The title track and lead single, “Not Alone,” arrives as a statement of intent: sonically precise, emotionally direct, and built to travel. It carries the tension between solitude and solidarity that runs through the record’s spine—the same tension that has always animated Vin Deca’s best work.
Eight albums in, Vin Deca is not arriving—he has been here. What changes with Not Alone is only the altitude.
