Essex-based singer-songwriter George Bone is kicking off 2025 with a powerful new single, ‘What a Beautiful Monday’. The track, set for release on 3rd March, marks a pivotal moment in Bone’s evolving sound, blending folk, pop, and singer-songwriter influences. Drawing comparisons to Chris Stapleton and Darius Rucker, the song’s storytelling and heartfelt lyricism take centre stage in what is expected to be one of his most defining releases yet.
‘What a Beautiful Monday’ captures the weight of lost love and self-doubt, wrapped in jangly guitars and irony-laced lyrics. With echoes of Gracie Abrams and Lizzy McAlpine, Bone shifts from his pop/soul roots to a folk-leaning, introspective style. The song’s melancholic yet anthemic chorus contrasts the raw vulnerability of lines like: “The show had been cancelled // when it had just begun.”
A Year of Momentum
Bone’s rise has been fuelled by an impressive track record, including nominations at the 2023 and 2024 Radio Wigwam Awards and recognition as a Yamaha Ambassador finalist. BBC Introducing Essex & Cambridgeshire also named him a ‘One to Watch’, cementing his status as an emerging talent to follow.
With ‘What a Beautiful Monday’ heralding a fresh artistic chapter, Bone is gearing up for an exciting year ahead. Fans can pre-save the single now, with the countdown to 3rd March already underway.
