Cleveland P. Jones [2021] - Never Listen [VEC]


Currently riding high (#2) in latest UK Soul chart as featured artist on J.D.'s Time Machine's 'Kiss Of Freedom', here's a new solo release from Cleveland P. Jones released 12 Feb 2020.  This is a smooth and mellow neo soul ballad/stepper.

UPDATE:
Someone has left a comment informing me that this was in fact released in 2016 on an album by Kejam titled 'Majek' featuring Cleveland Jones. It would appear that the album was only released in Japan on P-Vine. It was also due to feature on an EP called 'Rebirth' but I can find no trace of the EP so perhaps it was never issued? Whether the current release is a reissue or a re-recording I don't known. There is a 'snippet' of the Kejam release on SoundCloud which sounds very similar.

  2. Thanks for pointing that out. You are correct it was issued on an EP 'Rebirth' and album 'Majek' (Japanese P-Vine only?) by Kejam Feat. Cleveland Jones in 2016.

    But is the 'new' version the same or re-recorded as it has just been reissued by Cleveland P. Jones on 12 Feb here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Never-Listen-Cleveland-P-Jones/dp/B08VNTBRBQ

  3. P.S. I just noticed that Jones co-wrote it with Kejam (Majek) aka Oladisun Majekodunmi and Londoner James Colah.

    Also found Kejam version on SoundCloud here: (they do sound the same/similar)

  4. To Clarify the above :

    Never Listen -has never released as a single till recently due to the demand from the American steppers market. It was featured on my Japanese album in 2016.

  5. Hi Kejam

    Many thanks for clarification. So it is the same version that has just been released as a single? ... or has Cleveland re-recorded it? Alos, do you know anything about the Rebirth EP? Thanks
