Hailing from Liverpool in the UK, Jacki Jones is a promising singer-songwriter blending indie rock, pop, post punk and indie folk influences into her own original sound. She’s swiftly made her mark with a diverse range of songs exploring themes from mental health to relationships, all set against arrangements of guitar-driven melodies ranging from melancholic to uplifting vibes.
Drawing inspiration from a range of artists spanning generations, from Queen and David Bowie to modern acts like Ed Sheeran and Yungblud, Jacki Jones stitches her music with a varied threads of influences.

Since then she’s followed up with two new original tracks as well as two alternative versions of songs from her first EP. Now bringing us her latest release, she shares the alternate version of “Life’s Regime,” a song originally featured on her debut EP back in 2020.
Taking the gritty rock n’ roll sound of the original and reframing it in a brighter post punk aesthetic, the crunchy guitar leads gives way to airy clean textures tinged with subtle new wave stylings.
