The 14-track album throws Jones into the spotlight, not just as a talented singer-songwriter, but as a voice ready to define a new era of indie pop. This album wastes no time making an impact. The lead single, “One Minute,” is a straight shot of indie-rock adrenaline, giving us bass lines that hit like a heartbeat and choruses that stick. It’s a track made for blasting with the windows down, inviting listeners to take in each second like it’s their last. And “Change My Number”? This single is already being called a new breakup anthem, with its empowering lyrics about cutting ties and starting fresh. It’s edgy, addictive, and gives us a look at Jones as more than just a singer—he’s here to shake things up.
Jones himself describes the album as capturing “a moment in time,” a soundtrack to a phase of change and growth, all inspired by personal experiences and a year’s worth of introspection. You can hear it in tracks like “21,” a soulful piano ballad that pulls at the heartstrings, and “Another Sad Song,” his raw, stunning duet with Livvy Lauren, where they dive into life’s messy, beautiful realities.
But it’s not just the singles that make this album a hit—Jones weaves his way across genres, pulling from the iconic sounds of The Beatles and Coldplay to the pop edge of Dua Lipa. This mix of influences has critics and fans alike calling Waiting for the World to Turn his strongest work to date.
Just days after its release, Jones is already hitting the road, performing on Will Young’s comeback tour across the UK—a move that puts him in front of thousands of new listeners and primes him for an epic 2025. He’s just finished appearances at the Northampton Music Festival and supporting soul legend Kenny Thomas, proving that his live show packs as much punch as his recorded work.
Maddox Jones’s Waiting for the World to Turn is available on all streaming platforms. It’s time to buckle up—2025 might just be the year that Maddox Jones takes over.
