So like if you've made it this far, thanks for listening all the way through. I feel
like you deserve a goodie bag or a medal, so drop me a DM. And if you're at a barbecue
or some other social gathering and you left your preferred streaming service running through
by accident, sorry, but there's going to be a bit of talking, but at least there's a fire
beat in the background. So please hear me out. Yeah. See, my name Jack Jones come from
a UK slang on your Jack Jones, meaning to do something on your own. And here we are
at the end of my first album and boy, man was wrong. See, so many people came together
to make these musical snacks and I want to thank them. First up, my influences, Chad
Pinchin, Dizzy, Hot Natured and Book Of Shade. Your baseline changed everything guys. I was
still doing gigs for a couple of hundred pound driving up and down with my wife, just trying
to pay the rent. And it's a journey. And that leads me on to the songwriters and producers
and artists I've collaborated with. Ray Gingin, The Dream Team, Mike Dunn, Jamie, Martin Solveig,
Becky Hill, Emanike, Camille, South London's Finest, Mabel, Ina, Brett, Oli, Demi, Steflon,
Bebe, Jess, Tove, Madison, Will, Fred, Teat, Matthews, Steve Mac. Wow. Special mention
to the MVP, Mark Ralph. It's tequila time, bro. Lucy and thanks for always believing
in me and helping me perfect the beat. Adam Diamond, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't
know what I know. So thank you, bro. I still think fondly about the music we made together.
My whole team and the label, man like Jamie Spinks who took a chance on us. Dan, thanks
for always dreaming big. To my family, to my wife, you're the reason we made it, babe.
I'm thankful music has changed our life, but it wasn't always easy. So when people ask me,
what does this album mean to me? It's for everyone that didn't believe. That guy that
said I couldn't produce, well that ain't true. The guy that said I'll never finish a record
on my own, that ain't true. We proved them wrong. So when you listen to this album, feel
that positive energy in every beat, every vocal. I know no matter how far you are away from your
dream, you can get there, fam. Peace.
