Howard Jones Returns with Synth-Pop Legacy | Cleveland News

Howard Jones, synth-pop icon at 71, is launching a massive tour with legendary acts Wang Chung, the English Beat, and Modern English — not just a nostalgia fest, but a bold new chapter. His new single “Stand Up,” inspired by Jesse Jackson’s poem, channels empowerment and self-worth, echoing his classic hits. He’s building his upcoming album “Global Citizen” around his beloved Roland Jupiter-8 analog synths — a defiant nod to analog warmth over digital convenience. Though he hints this may be his last original studio album, his creative fire burns bright, fueled by decades of relationships and a deep love for his craft. And yes, he still wears his eighties hair with pride — authenticity, after all, is his message. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
