Fans
eagerly await the arrival of Jamie Jones'
latest self-titled CD. His music is available
HERE
through Itunes. |
With
the promotion of his new CD, Jones has witnessed
first-hand the county’s deep cultural
divide over the rise of evangelical Christianity.
When asked whether or not he finds it more
accepting to sing about his faith in the
current climate, Jones grasped to define
this divide.
|
“I don’t know honestly,"
Jones said. "You go some places and people
accept it and think it’s awesome and
then you go to some places that don’t
support your faith, but I know that there
are specific people that need to hear this
music and I know it’s going to help
them.”
It was 1994 when “I Swear” was
released, a song that was ubiquitous during
the mid-nineties thanks to All-4-One’s
soulful version and John Michael Montgomery’s
honky-tonk rendition.
You
can still hear All-4-One’s “I
Swear” if you stay-up late enough to
catch a commercial for the latest Silky Soul
of the 90’s compilation, but Jones isn’t
eager to rely on the same sound that brought
him earlier success.
“I
feel this project," he explained, "will
display another dimension of who I am as an
artist who has matured and developed.”

Jamie
Jones displays the rebirth of cool, top &
middle pics, then lays melodic tunes at his
state-of-the-art recording studio in Southern
California.

Although
they haven’t released a project from
a major label in six years, All-4-One still
release CDs from American Records and presently
enjoy moderate success overseas. Though
some people in the U.S. would probably consider
the group past its prime, Jones said he's
not leaving All-4-One.
With the release of his first solo project,
Jones has brought his music career full-circle.
Full of r&b, gospel and Neo-Soul, Jamie
Jones offers up a disc that captures and exudes
his faith. He hopes you can relate.
