“Just A Few Folk", JP Cooper’s long-awaited third studio album is released on 31st October 2025 on Island Records.
Produced by Cam Blackwood, and co-written with Mr Hudson, Simon Aldred, Jamie Hartman, RØRY and Neil Ormandy, “Just A Few Folk’” is a beautifully crafted body of work, recorded entirely to tape at renowned London analogue studio Toe Rag Studios. The album speaks of everyday stories and experiences - family bonds, personal relationships, intimate moments. “Diamonds and Gold” is a soulful dedication to his wife, while “Sad Song” reframes heartache. He reflects on memories of growing up in Middleton, Manchester on “Waiting on a Blue Sky”, and the lead single “Summer of Love” blends retro soul, 70s-inspired grooves and JP Cooper’s signature rich vocals.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the album and its process, JP explains: “This record feels like a turning point for me — I wasn’t thinking about radio, labels, or what might “work,” I just followed my dopamine. It was important to us that this album felt as human as possible, especially at a time when so much of music and art is being shaped by AI. So I took the band into a studio with no computers, only tape, everyone played together in one room. “Just A Few Folk” is the most personal collection of music I’ve ever made, and I hope when you listen, you’ll feel the same freedom, humanity, and joy that I felt while making it.”
