Singer-songwriter Maddox Jones returns with the single World’s Gone Mad on Friday, the follow up to his debut EP Headspace.
Written with Mikey Austin-Riley and David Crawford at the start of the first UK lockdown, World’s Gone Mad was written as a comfort song for those stuck at home this winter and a reminder of the ‘life affirming hugs’ many of us have missed.

Hide AdCo-produced by Billy Lockett and Louis Souyave, the song expresses a realisation that many of us have been experiencing this year - the importance of our relationships with our family, friends and loved ones.
Maddox Jones said: “The song is about being there for each-other in these crazy times.
“We've obviously been going through a lot this year and I think what's really kept it all together is having your friends around or having your partner, and just holding each-other up.”
Combining a catchy chorus and piano hook with Maddox’s voice, World’s Gone Mad has all the nostalgic reminiscence of early Coldplay.
