JOE’s Song Of The Day #602: Glass Wings – ‘For A Little While’

Eric Lalor

Glass Wings

Glass Wings is Belfast-based singer-songwriter Stephen Jones.

Glass Wings is a listening experience that is strangely familiar, but with an edge: a modern ‘multi-genre’ approach to production. In an era of experimental, process-heavy or increasingly homogenised pop music, could originality exist in a return to the simplicity of classic songwriting?

Glass Wings

That’s the theory presented by Glass Wings, the alias of Belfast-based artist, Stephen Jones. Glass Wings’ debut EP ‘Jana from Barcelona’ was released to acclaim in May 2017, securing a series of live appearances including Stendhal Festival and Sligo Live. Now with a debut album (recorded by Phil D’Alton, Master and Dog) due for release later in 2018, ‘For a Little While’ is the lead single to set the tone for a body of work exploring personal and societal coming of age in an increasingly uncertain world.
