Close Up

Tom Jones

A softer, more reflective side of the Welsh powerhouse. Lush seventies arrangements meet country-pop sensibilities for an intimate, late-night listening experience.

It's Tom Jones in a turtleneck, drinking whiskey by the fireplace and telling you about his exes.

A warm, slightly weary collection of songs that feels like a mature reflection on love and the passage of time.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The surprisingly tender restraint in the opening of Woman You Took My Life where the vocal sits right against the ear.
The upbeat shift into a country-soul shuffle on Time to Get It Together that breaks the album's somber spell.
The swell of the string section on I Won't Be Sorry to See Suzanne Again that mirrors the emotional weight of the lyrics.
