David Christy Jones – Idiocy (2020)

If you are looking for a scathing yet witty take on the modern world, look no further than ‘Idiocy’ by David Christy Jones. The second single off his upcoming debut album, it touches on a range of topics that generally annoy people about the times we live in. To complete this take on the world, Jones is joined by BenZo who brings an edge of 90s rap and hip-hop to the mix. This blends with the progressive rock and blues sound Jones is known for.

Over the last 10 years, he has built a solid reputation as a talented and confident performer. Having toured extensively, he brings something new and unique to your ears. Anyone in search of a new sound to get lost in will probably enjoy this single.



‘Idiocy’ grabs your attention with Jones’ vocals and a clearing of the throat. His voice grabs hold of you and does not let go as you are taken on a journey of everything that annoys people. His lyrics are fun and engaging making you smile and at times even laugh. He also fills the lyrics with these witty comparisons that are just wonderful to listen to. When BenZo enters the picture, he hits you with these great vibes that make you move to the rhythm.

Below the ridiculously engaging vocals is a really fun melody. There is something Peter Gabriel like about the melody that you can’t help but get into. The music makes you bounce to it and creates this great base for both Jones and BenZo. The melody remains the same throughout the single, but there is this guitar riff that you need to listen out for that is simply amazing.

David Christy Jones hits out at the modern world with the scathingly witty ‘Idiocy’. Joined by BenZo, he highlights the bad and smacks it down in the best possible way. If you want a song that can attack everything and make you smile, this is the one for you.
