He was one of the breakout stars from Country Music Week last year and today Willie Jones has released the phenomenal new single ‘Back Porch,’ available to stream everywhere now.
Willie Jones has today shared the hip hop infused new single ‘Back Porch.’ He will be joined by friends tonight on Instagram at 11pm GMT for his Back Porch Virtual BBQ Release Party. The track infuses Jones signature hip hop elements with his deep, country vocal.
Jones has fast established himself in the market as one to watch, blending musical genres in a fresh new take on country music. This track sees him release a more heartfelt track, combined with energetic, flawless production that feels like a futuristic take on the genre, complete with a killer banjo solo. The track feels like the perfect laid-back style for the summers bank holiday weekend and is bound to be another hit for the breakout star, who has already earned success for his earlier releases ‘Bachelorettes on Broadway’ and ‘Whole Lotta Love.’ Co-written with Nick Autry and producer Michael Lotten, the track was inspired by that perennially popular theme of ‘home.’ Speaking of the song’s inspiration, Jones states.“I wasn’t in the best place mentally, spiritually or physically but one afternoon, I was on my buddy’s back porch, chilling, in the open air and it really helped me to reassess things” explains Willie. “I think now more than ever people need some peace of mind and being outside, chilling with the ones you love in the comfortability of your own home or back porch is the way to get that. The song is a reminder to be thankful for everything you have.”
Jones will celebrate the launch, by a virtual BBQ hangout, with friends including Walker Hayes, Michael Ray, Blanco Brown, Renee Blair and Abby Anderson from 11pm BST.
