The latest work released during the 35th anniversary year of "Kakurenbo" is a melodious synth-pop album that can be considered both an evolution and a return to the roots!
Howard Jones, a pioneer of electronica and known as one of the top melody makers/songwriters in the pop scene.
Constantly experimenting and bringing innovation to music, Howard's latest album marks both the culmination of his evolution and a return to his origins (featuring his trademark synth-filled arrangements and a return to melodic early pop songs)!
"Looking back at synths like this, it feels very comfortable. Fans had been asking me to make another synth album like in the old days, so maybe I unconsciously responded to that. I really enjoyed making it."

Media reviews and coverage
Appearing as a pop maverick of 80s UK new wave, he has sold over 8 million copies to date and has been active on the scene for over 30 years, making him one of the leading melody makers in the electronic pop/techno pop scene. This album, released in 2019 during the 35th anniversary year of his debut album "Kakurenbo," is his 11th original album in 4 years. His previous album "Engage" incorporated elements of classical, pop, film music, ballet music, and contemporary dance music, pushing his signature techno/EDM style to the edge, demonstrating his continued presence as a top-tier artist. This new work, however, returns to a sound reminiscent of his highly successful 1st and 2nd albums, featuring organic, warm melodies and lyrics, delivering a collection of pop gems that will delight fans.
