He truly found love, and is wanting to tell the world in this song. The track is a full on American Rock ballad, with Jacko taking his inspiration from the likes of Michael Bolton and Jon Bon Jovi, while drawing comparisons to Nickelback. Jacko plans to release a new single every month until November; the 5-time World Kickboxing Champion is clearly nothing but determined, putting the same dedication into his music that he used for his sport.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Described by Malcolm Martine in his review for &#8216;The Independent&#8217;, &#8216;I Found Love&#8217; has,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;&#8230;a hook that gets under your skin and has you swaying along to the optimistic sentiments and the belief that you are never too old for love.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Random Ad stuff --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2076862002005673\" data-ad-slot=\"3107208401\" data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><\/p>\n<p><script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Jacko declares himself to be &#8220;an ordinary Bangladeshi&#8221; who followed his dreams, which included winning the World FC Kickboxing Championship final in 1996, in front of his friend, fan and Bollywood star, Salman Khan. This wasn&#8217;t enough however, and his dreams further evolved towards music.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Jacko believes music should touch people&#8217;s hearts; the music video for &#8216;I Found Love&#8217; features his wife, as well as a mix of prefessional shots and home video. The clip commemorates Valentine&#8217;s Day, and checks all the right boxes, with a campfire singalong, cooking a romantic meal, walks along the beach, and so on. Simple instrumentation and lyrics make this the perfect feelgood song, just right to sing to your loved one.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;I Found Love&#8217; is available on <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/music\/artist\/Ali_Jacko?id=Acm2jt3yi3vnnlbfa74hjaqojye\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Play<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/6SmOtucD2MbGHGLonn4JmY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spotify<\/a>.
