Willie Jones has released a new Apple Music Sessions EP featuring a cover of Usher's "OMG" ahead of the Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show. The EP includes Jones' breakthrough X-Factor audition song "Your Man" (originally by Josh Turner) and his latest single "Dive Bar."

The Louisiana native has made significant strides in the music industry since his 2021 debut album "Right Now," accumulating 114 million streams and 500,000+ social media followers. His track "American Dream" earned him a spot on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, while "Down by the Riverside" from his sophomore album led to a Jimmy Kimmel Live performance.

Jones is known for his unique blend of traditional country and hip-hop, which he calls "Louisiana hip-hop gumbo." USA Today named him among the 12 Black Artists Shaping Country Music's Future. He currently hosts "The Cross Road Radio Show" on Apple Music Country, exploring the intersection of country and hip-hop genres.

Upcoming performances include Stagecoach 2024 on April 28. His recent appearances include the Sticks and Swamp Tour with RVSHVD, The Bourbon & Beyond Festival, and Golden Sky Festival.

To celebrate the EP's release, Jones appeared on Zane Lowe's Apple Music 1 and was featured on Apple Music's New Music Daily playlist cover.
