Episode description as stored
We sit down with Howard Jones to talk about the long arc of an electronic pop career that stays grounded in optimism, craft, and real human connection. He shares how he balances evolving music technology with live performance energy, and why authenticity is still the thing audiences can feel.  • writing new music while still touring and chasing the next creative spark  • blending great playing with smart technology for a powerful live show  • building songs around big questions like love, meaning, and being human  • how “Things Can Only Get Better” comes from thinking about singalongs  • staying relevant by staying true to values like kindness and self-belief  • what analog gear still does that software cannot fully copy  • the 1985 Grammys moment that helped legitimize synth-based music  • why the stage forces you into the present moment  • learning from early fearless performances and bringing that spirit back  • underestimating “No One Is To Blame” and watching it grow with fans  • the near-miss record deal choice that changed everything  • favorite synth pick and the message he hopes lasts for decades  • turning a power cut into a once-in-a-lifetime show memory  If you haven't already, take a quick second to tap the follow button. It really helps the show reach more people who love music and entertainment. INTRO/OUTRO: T. Wild Mantor Music BMI See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
