Baltic Jazz Recordings features MT Jones on single ‘Forever & A Day”
Baltic Jazz Recordings proudly presents new single “Forever & A Day” featuring soul singer MT Jones, in conjunction with label partner EMI North.
“Forever & A Day” is a fantastic collaboration between two Liverpool-based artists. Baltic Jazz Recordings – the work of producer Steve Levine – and MT Jones have created a track that sounds classic yet modern. Soul, R&B and jazz blend together to create a brilliantly contemporary pop track. MT Jones’ expressive and emotional vocals sit perfectly with the Baltic Jazz Recordings expert production which brings the track to life with lush string and horn arrangements.
Steve Levine says “The writing process with MT Jones was really enjoyable. We both share a love and a passion for classic soul music, in particular the later period of Motown and Philly soul. The production techniques and orchestration used by those producers and arrangers of that era was really our starting off point. Whilst this track shows our love of vintage soul production, it’s very much a 2024 session recorded using all the modern technology that I have available in my studio. A homage to the great producers I grew up listening to”
While MT Jones states “This is a track about love, past, present and future. It was lovely to collaborate with Steve on this track, he played a drum loop and I put some chords and started singing some ideas on top of it. I enjoyed playing synth on the track too, not something I typically do but was told it was the same synth Stevie Wonder used on ‘Talking Book’ so simply had to have a go and put it on the track. The strings really top it off and add that extra special touch too”
