Sir Tom Jones released a cover of the song ‘No Hole In My Head’ by Malvina Reynolds, which serves as a track as well as the second single from Sir Jones’s upcoming LP, ‘Surrounded By Time’.

‘No Hole In My Head’, a song originally written by the late Malvina Reynolds in a folk-blues tune was reconceptualised by Sir Jones as a pop-rock piece. The music video for the same demonstrates Sir Jones and other actors being interviewed, interrogated by an anonymous figure. Watch the music video for the song below:

Sir Jones said in a statement that the song is a very powerful one at any age, that “It’s about having confidence in who you are, particularly during this time of a pervasive, boundless media that can wield so much influence, it’s more important than ever to know and be strong in your own self.”

Sir Jones released the first single off his upcoming LP earlier this year titled ‘Talking Reality Television Blues’ , a cover of the song by Todd Snider, saying “Last year, during lockdown and after 5 years of enormous personal changes, I finally found the need to express myself through my music”. Speaking of the album’s title, Sir Jones commented “Who expects what is always so completely unexpected? My personal clock started ticketing in 1940, and with all the magnificent strangeness of life on this planet both speeding up and slowing down, the album is titled Surrounded By Time.”

The upcoming album is an album of self-reflection and the struggles faced by Sir Jones in the couple of years, and will be released on the 23rd of April, 2021.
