Do You Take This Man

A smooth 1979 pivot into disco-inflected pop. Jones trades his brassy roar for a soulful, late-night groove that feels both intimate and danceable.

It's Tom Jones doing disco-soul in a velvet suit, and it's smoother than you'd expect.

A sophisticated and soulful late-night groove that balances romantic longing with a steady, danceable pulse.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition into a steady disco pulse on the title track that bridges his crooner past with the dance floor present.
The way his baritone softens into a vulnerable whisper during the bridge of Baby as You Turn Away.
The lush string swell that opens How Deep Is the Ocean, setting a cinematic and romantic tone for the record.
