Kelly Jones Unveils Solo Album ‘Inevitable Incredible’ and Drops Lead Single

Frontman of the renowned band Stereophonics, Kelly Jones, is branching out with his very first solo album titled Inevitable Incredible. Fans got a taste of the new material with the release of the album's poignant title track. Jones, known for his powerhouse performances, adopts a more intimate and personal tone in this solo venture.

Transitioning From Band to Solo

Kelly Jones has previously been recognized as the lead of Stereophonics, but he's also explored music with his side project Far From Saints. Embracing a shift in his artistic journey, Jones presents his debut solo work, Inevitable Incredible, set to reach audiences on May 3. The album showcases Jones's musical evolution, with songs written primarily on the piano—an instrument that brings a new emotional depth to his songwriting.

The Creation of ‘Inevitable Incredible’

The forthcoming album encapsulates a period of creation between October and December 2022. Jones's songwriting reaches new levels of vulnerability and honesty, aspects he aimed to capture quickly, preserving the music's authentic spirit. Inevitable Incredible was recorded at the secluded Ocean Sound studio in Norway, a location that offered inspiration through its isolation and natural surroundings. With just his studio engineer and a backline technician, Jones recorded the album over the span of six days. Speaking on the experience, Jones shared that the absence of distractions allowed for an emotionally charged and genuine recording session, acknowledging that the album carries his full emotional investment.

In the album's eponymous track, the singer allows himself to be more vulnerable, with raw lyrics and a piano backdrop building a cinematic soundscape. The poignant verses, such as “I see you, in my mind’s eye/ Will you hold me hostage?/ Until I die?”, demonstrate a departure from Jones's usual style, inviting listeners to engage with his inner reflections.

Anticipation for the Album

The album's title track is available now, giving fans a preview of what's to come, and the full album is now available for pre-order. The tracklist reveals titles that seem to promise an introspective journey through Jones's thoughtful lyrics and melodies:

1. ‘Inevitable Incredible’
2. ‘Turn Bad Into Good’
3. ‘Time’s Running Away’
4. ‘Echowrecked’
5. ‘Sometimes You Fly Like The Wind’
