Maddox Jones, the dynamic Northampton singer-songwriter, has just dropped his highly anticipated sophomore album, ‘Waiting for the World to Turn’. Released through Radikal Records, the 14-track album explores themes of growth, self-reflection, and the desire for change. With his eclectic style blending indie rock, pop, and soul, Jones’s new work has been lauded by fans and critics alike and establishes him as a compelling voice to watch in 2025.
‘Waiting for the World to Turn’ has already generated excitement with standout singles like ‘One Minute’, which combines a bass-driven groove with a powerful, nostalgic hook, and ‘Change My Number’, an anthem of self-empowerment and independence. The album showcases Jones’s signature storytelling, including tracks like ’21’, a poignant piano ballad, and ‘Another Sad Song’, a soulful duet with London artist Livvy Lauren, capturing the album’s mix of introspection and resilience.
“This album captures a unique moment in my life, both musically and personally,” Jones shared. “I’ve been working on these songs over the past six months with friends, and they reflect the ups and downs of navigating adulthood and personal growth. It feels honest, and I hope listeners connect with that.”
Jones has built momentum leading up to the album’s release with a UK tour alongside pop icon Will Young. The tour, which began in late October, brings Jones’s new music to a wide audience, as he performs across the UK throughout November and December. He also recently graced the Main Stage at the Northampton Music Festival and opened for the legendary Kenny Thomas, further demonstrating his captivating live presence.
With early career success as a member of The Departure and collaborations with artists like Billy Locket and Janet Devlin, Jones’s transition to a solo career has been met with critical acclaim. His debut solo EP, Headspace, reached #4 on the iTunes Singer-Songwriter chart, followed by his chart-topping single “Can’t Wait for the Summer” in 2021. Recognized as “One to Watch” by BBC Introducing, Jones has earned praise from major publications, with Music News declaring him “well on his way to becoming a household name.”
Maddox Jones’s sophomore album, ‘Waiting for the World to Turn’, is now available on all major streaming platforms. With an expanding fanbase and critical acclaim, Jones is poised to become one of the defining artists of 2025.
