Now Nina is back, with &#8216;Promises&#8217;. The fourth single release from the 18 year old vocalist from Newport, South Wales, it&#8217;s an infectious pop song with an R&amp;B feel.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Nina Jones started singing seriously at the age of 10, receiving singing lessons from Louise Ryan, Charlotte Church&#8217;s singing teacher. She quickly developed to the stage where she was chosen to star in &#8216;Chitty Chitty Bang Bang&#8217; at The Wales Milennium Centre, in Cardiff, alongside Aled Jones and &#8216;H&#8217; (Steps).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Nina reached the final of the UK Open Mic contest a few years back, and was runner up in &#8216;The Star of Stage&#8217; contest in 2013.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Her debut release, &#8216;Never Let You Go&#8217;, written by Darren Parry and Laura Curtis, received wide radio play, including BBC Radio Wales. Nina followed this up with a cover of Prince&#8217;s &#8216;Purple Rain&#8217; which to date has racked up 62,000 views on Youtube, and had radio airplay around the UK.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Promises&#8217;, also written by Darren Parry, is a song about losing trust in someone you previously loved; tiring of their lies and deceit. It is however also about being strong and moving on. It&#8217;s accompanied by a lovely video, featuring Nina, and illustrating the story of the song.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Promises&#8217; certainly sounds like it lives up to its name, and is set to take Nina Jones even higher.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can find Nina online on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/ninajonesmusic\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ninajonesmusic\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ninajonesmusic\/\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.soundcloud.com\/ninajonesmusic\" target=\"_blank\">Soundcloud<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UChW9Vx_HfLnMe8OJZpYV7mA\" target=\"_blank\">Youtube<\/a>, and her <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ninajonesmusic.com\" target=\"_blank\">website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\">\n<div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_61036\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gZEmgHkVzpk?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;color=red&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"YouTube player\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/gZEmgHkVzpk\/maxresdefault.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nina Jones returns with &#8216;Promises&#8217;, her follow up to her song, &#8216;Never Let You Go&#8217;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":17459,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[9],"tags":[2356,957,4228,4229,954,4227],"class_list":["post-17457","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-releases","tag-bbc-radio-wales","tag-darren-parry","tag-louise-ryan","tag-never-let-you-go","tag-nina-jones","tag-promises"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5yMhl-4xz","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":10032,"url":"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2015\/04\/introducing-nina-jones\/","url_meta":{"origin":17457,"position":0},"title":"Introducing:  Nina Jones","author":"Lisa Hafey","date":"11\/04\/2015","format":false,"excerpt":"Nina Jones is a 17 year old singer from Newport, South Wales.
