ALBUM REVIEW: Willie Jones’ ‘Right Now’

American country music artist Willie Jones is set to completely take over the growing genre with the release of his eagerly anticipated debut studio album ‘Right Now’ which drops on January 22nd with the record delving deep into the heart of Jones’ musical soul as he introduces himself to the world.

The upcoming record is a hugely impressive collection that allows for Willie to create an eclectic soundscape that weaves between country, soul, hip-hop, and more as he brings together a standout tracklist of anthems that go from the feel-good cuts of ‘Country Soul’, to the deep-thinking ‘American Dream’.

As an artist, Willie Jones isn’t afraid to merge genre styles and his slick lyrical licks make the LP kick dust into the classic country style as he showcases he is a performer ready to make his mark and stellar tracks such as ‘Back Porch’, and ‘Bachelorettes On Broadway’ brilliantly shine a light on his impressive vocal tone too.

‘Right Now’ is filled with sing-a-long smash-hits that will have you singing along at the top of your lungs, roll those windows down, and blast out these hits. Although there are more somber moments mixed in there too with the heartfelt ‘Actions’, and ‘American Dream’ in particular delivering a personal take on the racial injustice that runs deep in the US.

The album is a thumping introduction to Willie Jones as he brings a fresh stylistic to the country crossover soundscape with his debut full-length project that is a massive standout release that will go a long way to introducing a younger audience to the genre thanks to the hip-hope influences running through the modern country productions.

Overall, ‘Right Now’ is a wonderful inaugural album from an artist who clearly has a lot to say and isn’t worried about obeying any strict rules on what country music should sound like. He’s in his own lane and he’s blazing a trail for artists to follow suit and make songs that connect with their soul.
