MT Jones releases third single ‘Put Me Through’ from his debut EP
MT Jones presents “Put Me Through”, the penultimate offering from his self-titled debut EP set for release this coming September. “Put Me Through” is a rhythmic funky soul number and an exploration of the toxicity experienced in early relationships, and the ways in which people play with each other’s emotions.
“This is a song about the chaos of an early relationship, being conscious that you might be being played, but you’re also into it, so in a way happy to go along for the ride” – MT Jones
“Put Me through” follows previous releases “All I Do” & “Tough Love” both of which recount the feelings of regret which arise when a love is lost. MT Jones gathers inspiration from 60s and 70s soul greats, modern R&B and jazz, evoking a sound that is both contemporary and timeless. His deeply soulful & distinctive vocals transport you straight back to a smoke-filled speak easy, whilst bringing a sound that feels fresh and innovative.
