I was aiming for a Sade vibe with this one. I absolutely love the guitar work by my friend Michael Poupko.

Love Thing

You Got the Whoa

A sexy slow jam inspired by the 80's R&B I cut my teeth on.

When I Get Home

Inspired by Stevie Wonder's socially-conscious R&B, this track was inspired by the fight for marriage equality. Love is love!

Love and Let Love

I had these chords for a couple of years before I knew what to do with them...then I discovered Portishead. From a production standpoint, this is the song I'm most proud of.

R.I.P.

Written on September 12, 2001, this song is in honor of the victims of 9/11. Aside from playing it in my house a couple of times, the song was filed away and untouched for 14 years, more or less forgotten. When I woke up on September 11, 2015 the song popped into my head out of nowhere. I dug out the lyric sheet and decided to record it. 

Too Much to Ask

A message of empowerment over adversity. (DEMO. Verse 1 lyrics for a female vocalist also available.) 

Blessing in Disguise

A pop/electronica track about the flames of desire. (DEMO)

Bonfire

Demo

Water Underneath

I Feel You Everywhere

Pop, rock, R&B, jazz, electronica...anything's fair game for John Jones, a singer/songwriter with influences as diverse as The Beatles, Sheryl Crow, Portishead, and Coldplay. Two of John's songs, "Honey Bee" and "Everything," have been recorded and released by 2014 Grammy nominee Maysa Leak.
