Willie Jones - New Music

DEBUT ALBUM ‘RIGHT NOW’ IS OUT NOW
FEATURING THE NEW TRACK ‘AMERICAN DREAM’ 

Willie Jones completes his mission to blend the energy of hip-hop with the big-hearted authenticity of country with the release of his debut album ‘Right Now’, which is out via The Penthouse/ EMPIRE. Produced by MyGuyMars (Drake, Mac Miller, Jay-Z), Mark Batson (Eminem, Dr. Dre) and Justin Ebach (Dustin Lynch, Brett Young, Jordan Davis), the tracks on the record are all written or co-written by Jones.

 “My first album ‘Right Now’ is finally out and I’m damn happy about it,” says Willie. “Covid pushed us back but after doing a few collaborations and getting the final song and video ready, it lined up perfectly. I’ve grown so much in the process and I am thankful for everybody who had a part in making this happen. Much love to the producers and writers I had the pleasure of collaborating with. I’m blessed to have had the freedom to experiment and find my sound, my tone, my voice and present who I am ‘Right Now’.”

 There’s also a wealth of brand new material including the new single ‘American Dream’ which stands proud as a highlight of the album’s new songs which was released on Monday 18th, Martin Luther King Day. Co-written by Willie Jones, Josh Logan and Jason Afable (Florida Georgia Line), who also produced the track, with additional production by Alex “Lex” Goodwin (Nelly, Jason Derulo), Willie excels at social commentary, offering an ode to patriotism that addresses racial equality.

Willie explains, “When I saw the final edit, I knew this was my most important statement to date as an artist. It’s going to make people think and also understand how I see our country, our collective past, and futures. It was captured perfectly: the emotion, the creative use of anime, the message being relatable to so many. I felt relieved and inspired. No joke, I got chills.” 

Hailing from Shreveport, Louisiana (halfway between Dallas and New Orleans), Willie Jones has redefined country, hip-hop and pop to create an organic sound that respects all three genres. It’s a forward-thinking cocktail of influences that has resulted in him playing shows with artists as diverse as Shawn Mendes, Willie Nelson, Michael Ray and Chase Rice.

With one foot in country’s historic traditions and another boldly stepping into the future, Willie Jones continues to break boundaries.
