London based singer Joseph J. Jones had me on board with his powerful single "Whisper To A Hurricane," and he's kept my interest with latest release, "Blood Lockdown."
Taking on Kanye West's "Love Lockdown" and "Blood On The Leaves," this unusual interpretation enhances Jones' booming baritone over the sparse production.
Speaking on the inspiration behind the reinterpretation Jones had this to say:
"Always been a big fan of Kanye since the days of Graduation. Me and my producer Rich Frenneaux, decided to have a play around in the studio with some of Kanye's songs. There wasn't any plan to put anything out but "Blood On The Leaves" and "Love Lockdown" worked well so we tried to do something a bit different and develop them hand in hand to work as one. I always loved 808s and Heartbreaks but when Yeezus come around it was a game changer for me and made me look at the way I approach things in the studio. This is me adding a little soul and paying tribute to Yeezy."
