Story by David Jackson<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">England Together is an updated version of Maddox Jones\u2019 2022 single We\u2019re All Here Together (Go England) and features a fusion of brass, sing-along lyrics and vocal chants with a raucous indie-rock twist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Former England captain Pearce features in the new video for the song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Talking about the single, Maddox Jones said: \u201cFootball brings everyone together, especially big tournaments like the Euros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEngland is a multi-cultural nation and I want the single to celebrate and promote the togetherness and diverse culture of England, while also highlighting mental health issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMore than ever, we need to show solidarity and support for one another and cheer all the boys on the England team for the Euro 2024 campaign\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The accompanying music video begins with a young boy kicking his football \u2013 the iconic Slazenger 25 World Cup 1966 ball &#8211; over a garden wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It then sets out on a journey through the country, meeting fans along the way, including England legend and former captain Stuart Pearce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The song was written based on an idea from Paul Rumens \u2013 the ex-president of National League Wealdstone FC &#8211; and was inspired by Maddox Jones\u2019 passion for the sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was recorded at Plastic Tree Studios in Northampton alongside producer Dave Crawford.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maddox Jones has previously enjoyed success with The Departure, securing four Top 40 hits, sharing the stage with bands such as The Killers, Placebo and playing festivals including Reading &amp; Leeds and Glastonbury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a solo artist, he released his debut album Believe It in 2022 and is currently working on its follow up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He has also performed alongside Thomas Heaton, Beaux, The Lottery Winners and Lemar and later this year, he will join Will Young on a series of dates across the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maddox Jones\u2019 most recent single, Change My Number, was released in April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information, visit\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.voicemag.uk\/external?utm_campaign=external-link&amp;utm_source=null&amp;utm_medium=ext-link-click&amp;utm_content=https:\/\/maddoxjones.lnk.to\/england-together\">https:\/\/maddoxjones.lnk.to\/england-together<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><div  style=\"display: block;
