Rebooting her recorded catalogue and following up on her 2023 debut, London-based songstress Julia Jones seems to have gone through a great deal of artistic research and personal growth. The results are here for everyone to admire: ‘What a Shame’ is Jones’ comeback single, a slice of hazy and buoyant alt-pop featuring evocative, elegant vocals. Often layered in a thousand harmonies, Julia’s tone is heartwarming and comforting, playfully counterbalancing the song’s more melancholic, nostalgic lyricism.
Announcing an EP to be released later this year, ‘Apart’ – recorded and produced with AIR Studios mastering engineer, Jasper Ward – Jones appears to have gained full control of her artistic endeavours, and we expect a glorious year ahead for the British voyager.
