(August 28, 2023) Singer, songwriter and guitarist MT Jones was greatly influenced by the soul music stars of the 60s and 70s as well as jazz greats, and those influences certainly play a role in the very accessible sound of his music, which effortlessly straddles multiple musical borders.

Jones received critical acclaim for his first few singles, and his latest, “Wasting My Time,” should increase his profile even more. A joyously effervescent summer song, “Wasting My Time” is about the pleasure of just being in the moment – even if that moment is not…well…momentous. He tells us, It’s a great feeling to enjoy the present, Everyone needs some time to forget their worries and clear their head from time to time. This song is about the joy of that feeling, be it a person who helps you get there, a cup of something, or the sky outside. It’s pure admiration for the simple things.”

The beat-driven cut is an infectious slice of modern pop-soul that simultaneously harkens back to classic Motown and Chicago soul — and is smile-inducing from start to finish. Check out “Wasting My Time” below, and welcome MT Jones to SoulTracks.
