Turns out Northampton has a new super-duo – and they’ve just danced their way to the top of the Music Week Black Music Charts. Great Adamz and Maddox Jones have scored a No. 1 with their irresistible collab “Body and Soul”, a feel-good mix of Afrobeats shimmer and pop sparkle.
For Great Adamz, this is starting to look like a bit of a habit. Earlier this year he hit No. 1 with “Funke,” proving his signature upbeat sound is exactly what listeners are craving. Between viral moments, festivals, and his critically-acclaimed album, “Blessed Boy” – a sun-drenched celebration of love, connection, and gratitude – he’s firmly in his golden era.
Elevating the track, Maddox Jones has been on his own winning streak too. His deluxe album (Still) Waiting For The World To Turn grabbed plenty of praise, leading to bigger stages and bigger crowds on tour. From finding strength in confessional pop to high-energy sing-along bangers, he’s been showing serious range: and “Body and Soul” just turned up the spotlight even brighter.
Together, the pair have delivered a number that feels like summer with a bassline. And with a No. 1 to close out the year, it’s safe to say The New Year is already looking very, very exciting.
