Andras Jones steps into the new millennium ready to feel not outrage but empathy on his daring new single, "Hating The Haters." Spawned from a one-night art project exploring themes of compassion, the track slices through the din of our current polarized age, daring you not just to react, but to speculate what lies at the root of that reaction.
Penned and produced by Jones himself, this new song forms part of an ambitious, overarching artistic vision that began with his previous album, "Recognize, De-escalate & De-code." That project set the template for what has become his signature: building places where curiosity is king and opposition isn't enemy territory.
The multi-instrumentalist powerhouse Fernando Perdomo supplies the sonic fire. His bass, drums, organ, percussion, and blazing lead guitar don't so much underpin the message as turn up the volume of the message. The music snarls and surges, echoing the emotional tug-of-war at the heart of the song's theme. But it's never just noise for the sake of noise. There's precision here, a sense of purpose. Jones and Perdomo are doing more than rocking out.
Jones delivers the song's message with pure rock dynamism. The balance between violence and one's ability to think is what makes "Hating The Haters" so appealing. It's both cathartic and a challenge. Ultimately, this is a track about thinking. "Hating The Haters" is a rallying cry for those who still maintain faith that art can stir emotions and not just move feet. Andras Jones isn't offering solutions. He's offering a conversation. And if we listen, that's where healing might begin.
