New single ‘Gentle Reminder’ by MT Jones + headlining in LA and NYC
Rising British soul singer and songwriter, MT Jones releases his new single “Gentle Reminder” ahead of his forthcoming debut album Joy, arriving March 20th, 2026. “Gentle Reminder” is the follow-up to the album’s acclaimed first single, “Why I Cry“ which has been receiving great support at BBC’s Radio 2, including MT performing live in session with Jo Whiley on Wednesday, November 19th.
With a sound that blends the warmth of 60s and 70s greats with the texture of modern R&B and jazz, Jones’ music is rooted in timeless songwriting, live instrumentation, and a voice that carries both vulnerability and power.
“Gentle Reminder” captures the warmth and intimacy that define Jones’ soulful style and heartfelt songwriting. “it’s a love letter, a postcard,” says MT Jones. “Wrote out on my first tour of the States. When you’re away for a while experiencing new things and new places, it’s always good to let your person know you’re thinking of them whilst you’re away.”
After a breakout Fall saw Jones playing to sold-out venues across the U.K., including Arts Club Loft in Liverpool and Islington Assembly Hall in London, his upcoming tour marks a major step for MT, whose journey began busking as a kid on the streets of Chester and has since taken him across Europe and beyond. MT Jones will head to the US for two special headline performances December 12th at the Moroccan Lounge in Los Angeles and January 20, 2026 at Baby’s All Right in Brooklyn, NY.
MT Jones has gained strong radio and tastemaker support with previous singles including “Punchin’” and “Why I Cry” receiving airplay across BBC Radio 2, BBC 6 Music, Jazz FM, and BBC Introducing. He has drawn comparisons to Donny Hathaway, Carole King, and D’Angelo, while remaining distinctly his own. From his beginnings as a teenage busker to touring internationally with longtime friend Jalen Ngonda and supporting Lauryn Hill, Jones’ journey has been shaped by both graft and soul.
