Maddox Jones returns with his latest single, One Minute, offering a nostalgic yet refreshing dive into his indie rock roots. Released on August 29th via Radikal Records, the track is a powerful preview of his upcoming second album. Co-written and produced with UK songwriter Angus Parkin, One Minute features a driving bass groove that expands into an anthemic, sing-along hook, encapsulating a longing for reliving the blissful moments of the past.
Inspired by an old photograph and the desire to go back in time, One Minute is a poignant reminder to appreciate life’s fleeting, beautiful moments. As Maddox Jones explains, “We all take things for granted, so this is a reminder to get the most out of life’s beautiful moments.” The song came together quickly and organically, with the demo version being so well-received that it became the final release.
The single follows the success of Maddox’s England Together, which became a national anthem in support of England’s Euros 2024 campaign and garnered significant media attention, including appearances on Sky Sports, ITV News, and BBC Radio. With a year full of accolades, including being named Songwriter of the Year at the Northamptonshire Local Music Awards, Maddox is set to continue his meteoric rise.
One Minute is just a taste of what’s to come from his sophomore album, which promises to be his most raw and urgent work yet. With upcoming performances supporting Will Young on his UK comeback tour and appearances at the Northampton Music Festival, Maddox is ready to take center stage once again.
This latest release cements Maddox Jones as a dynamic and evolving artist, capable of pulling from his past while pushing forward with fresh, authentic sounds. Fans can expect more heartfelt tracks on his forthcoming album, making One Minute an essential listen.
