Olive Jones announces debut album 'For Mary', shares stirring new single 'Kingdom'

Rising UK soul artist Olive Jones has announced the release of her highly anticipated debut album 'For Mary', due March 13 via Nettwerk. The album marks a significant step for the Dorset-born singer-songwriter, offering a deeply personal and emotionally resonant collection of tracks that blend soul, blues, and poetic introspection.

Alongside the announcement, Jones has unveiled her new single 'Kingdom', a bold, heartfelt response to social division and political disillusionment. Inspired by the fallout of Brexit, the track takes aim at the systems and figures that continue to fuel cultural separation, offering both a critique and a call for unity.

Produced by James Wyatt (George Ezra, Ellie Goulding, Lianne La Havas), 'For Mary' is a cohesive and intimate body of work, drawing from Olive’s coastal upbringing and early exposure to jazz legends like Billie Holiday and Miles Davis. The album’s title track 'Mary' explores the emotional weight of supporting loved ones through mental health challenges, a theme woven with compassion and vulnerability.
