Manchester-based singer-songwriter Coruja Jones released his tender live version of "Songs For Winter" earlier this month. The track was originally released back in 2020 (the two months before COVID took over the world) and this rendition is an even more stripped-back, raw, and emotive take on the track.
Jones' vocals are the highlight for me, they're so emotional and powerful which really connect with me even on the first listen Each note and sound in Jones' voice carries a raw authenticity that adds a unique depth to the music. With delicate guitar tones woven throughout, the live version of this song makes the emotional journey of the song genuinely unforgettable. It's little wonder he's been supported by BBC Radio 6 Music and other outlets.
Speaking about the song and how this version came to be Coruja Jones mentions - "This was the first take, and it went rather well so I decided to release it as a single."
