JONES, "New Skin" (37 Adventures)The music business is littered with folks named Jones " there's Tom Jones, Norah Jones, Rickie Lee Jones and Howard Jones, for starters. That's the stage name of London-bred singer-songwriter Cherie Jones-Mattis, whose super debut album "New Skin " is a delicious slice of smooth electro-pop warmed by her inviting voice. It's the perfect CD to fire up for late-night chilling, rainy-day walks and late-night rainy day walks. The album's songs " Jones-Mattis had a hand in writing every one " explore love and obsession with great hooks and atmospheric synths. As she sings in "Wild" " "I will keep on fighting 'cos I'm fighting for love/ Pressure on my lungs now I'm singing out."
