Following the release of her 3rd EP “Body” in March 2023, Kiara Jones has set the stages of Parisian and provincial festivals alight (Franc'off, Décibels Vendanges, Au Fil des Voix, Colors concert in Paris, Sofar Miami, Madrid...).She has promoted this new opus on TV and radio (Culturebox, Canal+'s La Boîte Noire, Radio Nova's La Chambre Noire), shared the bill with Mélissa Laveaux among others, and recorded a live session for Sofar London, the prestigious Listening Room program which showcases artists from the new international scene such as Billie Eilish, Olivia Dean and Lianne La Havas.
Kiara Jones makes a dazzling comeback before the summer with a single from her new album. True to her impressive discography, she explores hybrid musicalities of urban pop and alternative R&B with up-tempo ambiances and assertive electropop rhythms. Always at the cutting edge of modernity, Kiara Jones has teamed up with a South African composer for this new single. After recording some of the vocals in Belgium, during her summer artistic residency at Ragtime Production studios, she finalized the recording, mixing and mastering in France and London. “Heartless” is the fruit of meticulous and intense work, where we can appreciate the breadth and maturity of an avant-garde vision of afropunk.
This new track, “Heartless”, heralds an album that aims for international standards, while retaining Kiara Jones' singular signature of surprising melodies. This work is distinguished by a play of nuances and subtleties, highlighting her enchanting voice.
