Definitely
at the Pop Country end of the Country Music spectrum, Tim Prottey Jones is back
with a new single release – “Fire” - ahead of his appearance at Buckle
and Boots Festival next weekend.
Opening
with keys that are reminiscent of Marc Cohn this is an up-tempo track, displaying
a different side to Tim’s writing and vocals. Although the keys, drums and
steel really add to the song, it is Tim's voice that drives all the way through.
Tim
has an impressive pedigree, both as a performer and producer with artists
including The Wandering Hearts, Twinnie, Jake Morrell and many of the greats of
UK Country and Nashville artists. You
feel that he has discovered a new freedom to explore and even play around with
his own music and really enjoy what he does – his videos on social media are a
testament to that!
Fire certainly reflects this, combining a
melancholy theme of trying to stoke the fire of a but with a feelgood melody giving
it a positive and optimistic overall vibe.
The final chorus, briefly sung without instruments is crying out for a live
crowd to join in – backing vocals serve as a substitute on the recording – and the
whole song will undoubtedly get an audience up on their feet when performed
live – especially on a festival stage!
“…The realisation that the spark isn’t gone hits like the hot Summer sun, and that’s when you know you can burn brighter…”
This
is possibly my favourite track from Tim, and I can’t wait to hear it on stage
at Buckle and Boots in only a week’s time!
Fire, the new single from Tim Prottey-Jones
is available to download and stream from Friday.
