Nina Jones is a 17 year old singer from Newport, South Wales. Juggling her singing with A-level studies, she’s nonetheless gearing up to release her new single, “Never Let You Go”.<\/p>\n

Written by Darren Parry, Dan and Laura Curtis, “Never Let You Go” is one of those instantly likeable songs, toe-tappingly infectious. It’s a song about asking somebody to trust you in love – to let go emotionally, to fall completely for you.<\/p>\n

Darren Parry has several songwriting awards under his belt (including a UK Songwriting Contest Award in 2004 in the ‘Pop’ category, and ‘Song of the Year’, ‘Billboard’ and ‘Unisong’ awards in the USA), while Dan and Laura Curtis have written songs for Paul Potts, Broadway stars Ramin Karimloo and Lea Salonga. They also wrote the charity song, “A Miner’s Song”.<\/p>\n

Nina, apart from studying for her A level exams, also performs with a 9 piece covers band. Citing her inspirations as Sam Smith and Adele, it seems she has a bright future ahead of her!<\/p>\n

“Never Let You Go” will be released on May 6. You can find Nina online on Twitter<\/a>, Facebook<\/a>, and Soundcloud<\/a>.<\/p>\n[youtube\u00a0https:\/\/youtu.be\/v9Cq0JM1ocQ]\n
