Maddox Jones follows debut solo EP with new single World’s Gone Mad

Singer-songwriter Maddox Jones returns with the single World’s Gone Mad on Friday, the follow up to his debut EP Headspace.

Written with Mikey Austin-Riley and David Crawford at the start of the first UK lockdown, World’s Gone Mad was written as a comfort song for those stuck at home this winter and a reminder of the ‘life affirming hugs’ many of us have missed.

Co-produced by Billy Lockett and Louis Souyave, the song expresses a realisation that many of us have been experiencing this year - the importance of our relationships with our family, friends and loved ones.

Maddox Jones said: “The song is about being there for each-other in these crazy times.

“We've obviously been going through a lot this year and I think what's really kept it all together is having your friends around or having your partner, and just holding each-other up.”

Combining a catchy chorus and piano hook with Maddox’s voice, World’s Gone Mad has all the nostalgic reminiscence of early Coldplay.

The former Departure and Born Stranger man is on his way to becoming a household name as a solo artist having already received praise from the likes of SPIN, American Songwriter, BBC, Record Of The Day and iHeart Radio.

When it was released earlier this year, Headspace reached number four on the iTunes UK Singer/ Songwriter chart and the title track rose to number 11 in the Music Week Commercial Pop Club Charts.

World’s Gone Mad will be available on the usual streaming platforms and can be ‘pre-saved’ ahead of its release on Friday at https://lnk.to/WorldsGoneMadFor more information, visit https://www.facebook.com/itsmaddoxjones
