Northampton’s music scene has produced some real gems in recent years, but few collaborations feel as fresh and magnetic as Great Adamz and Maddox Jones’s new duet, ‘Body and Soul’. Out now on Radikal Records, the track is a soulful collision of differing worlds: Adamz brings his vibrant Afrobeats energy, while Jones layers in his powerfully emotive, velvet-toned vocals. The result is a glowing ode to newfound love, carried by a seductive rhythm and a chorus that lingers long after the song ends.
The release comes at a pivotal moment for both artists. Adamz is still riding high from his hit single ‘Funke’, which topped the Music Week Black Music Top 20 Club Chart and has quickly become a streaming sensation. Meanwhile, Jones continues to carve his own path following the expanded release of his acclaimed album, ‘Still Waiting for the World to Turn’, ahead of a headline UK tour this Autumn.
‘Body and Soul’ doesn’t just highlight each artist’s individual strengths; it underscores their ability to elevate one another. Adamz’s Afrobeats pulse and Jones’s indie-pop sincerity entwine seamlessly, striking the rare balance between danceable groove and heartfelt intimacy. It’s the kind of track that could soundtrack both a late-summer party and a reflective midnight drive.
With Adamz stepping confidently into the spotlight as one of the UK’s most exciting Afrobeat voices and Jones continuing his evolution as a songwriter of depth and resonance, ‘Body and Soul’ feels less like a one-off and more like the start of something enduring.
A collaboration that proves when two distinct worlds collide, the result can be pure magic.
