On New Year&#8217;s Eve, prior to the pandemic, dance-pop singer\/songwriter Maddox Jones found himself ready for change, ready for redemption. To understand this urge in more depth, he picked up his guitar and wrote his most recent single, &#8216;Ready To Be Better&#8217;.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His solo career is only beginning as Maddox Jones spent years playing in bands and supporting names like Placebo and The Killers. It wasn&#8217;t until 2020 Jones shared his solo debut EP &#8216;Headspace&#8217; that reached #4 in the iTunes singer\/songwriter chart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Knowing his way around the industry, it all kind of snowballed from there. The Follow-up single, &#8216;Can&#8217;t-Wait for the Summer,&#8217; hit the top spot on the same chart, and this year Maddox Jones was named as an artist to watch by BBC Introducing Northampton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8216;Ready To Be Better&#8217; is the third single out of Jones&#8217; forthcoming debut album &#8216;Believe It&#8217; that is due to be released on April 8th via Radikal Records. &#8216;Ready To Be Better&#8217; uses its up-tempo disco-pop sound to soundtrack the feeling of awakening within us and the evolution of the human psyche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Ready to Be Better\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/3vf4g0WcIDkspBtr6iCaiv?si=1ef544a3129443e8&#038;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On New Year&#8217;s Eve, prior to the pandemic, dance-pop singer\/songwriter Maddox Jones found himself ready for change, ready for redemption.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":48,"featured_media":74066,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"On New Year's Eve, prior to the pandemic, dance-pop singer\/songwriter Maddox Jones found himself ready for change, ready for redemption.","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":[7,57,9,21453,21456,21445,21446],"tags":[14899,28738,144,77,370,28739,116,1181,10677],"class_list":["post-74064","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music","category-new-artists","category-new-releases","category-new-singles","category-quick-single-reviews","category-reviews","category-single-reviews","tag-dance-pop","tag-maddox-jones","tag-new-album","tag-new-release","tag-new-single","tag-ready-to-be-better","tag-review","tag-singer-songwriter","tag-single-review"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5yMhl-jgA","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":86339,"url":"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2024\/04\/premiere-northampton-singer-songwriter-maddox-jones-releases-single-change-my-number\/","url_meta":{"origin":74064,"position":0},"title":"Premiere: Northampton Singer-Songwriter Maddox Jones Releases Single \u2018Change My Number\u2019","author":"Polly Havelock","date":"15\/04\/2024","format":false,"excerpt":"Northampton singer-songwriter Maddox Jones is emerging from the shadows with anthemic new single \u2018Change My Number\u2019, an emotionally-fuelled portrait of a personal voyage from heartbreak to self-belief.
