Stereophonics' Kelly Jones delves into the 'Inevitable Incredible' in May

Stereophonics frontman Kelly Jones has a new solo album, Inevitable Incredible, to be released on May 3 on Stylus Records via Ignition Records Ltd. You can view the album trailer here. The first single is the title track; listen HERE.

Inevitable Incredible saw Kelly writing primarily on the piano for the first time between October and December of 2022. He went to Ocean Sound studio in Norway, tucked away on a tiny remote island in the North Sea. With just his studio engineer and backline technician with him, the landscape informed a six-day recording session. 

“The remote surroundings of the island studio allowed the songs to come to life and breathe, no distractions, it was such a new experience. There were no expectations for how the songs should sound. Just let the emotion and vulnerability I put into writing those songs come to life. The weather could change in a minute and there was little to no contact with the outside world. All this influenced how the songs came to be. It was a truly cathartic experience. I feel like I left it all out there on these songs,” said Jones.

Following 2022’s chart-topping album Oochya! – Stereophonics’ 8th UK #1 LP and accompanying sold-out stadium and arena tour that included 2 sold out nights at Cardiff’s 60,000 capacity Principality Stadium – Jones shifted gears with his Americana-influenced project Far From Saints and their self-titled debut album. The project, comprising of Jones and Dwight Baker and Patty Lynn of The Wind and The Wave, received critical and commercial success last year, debuting in the Top 5 on the UK Official Albums Chart whilst topping the specialist UK Official Americana and Country Artists Albums Charts. 

Inevitable Incredible will be available on heavyweight LP, CD, and digital formats. Pre-order here.
