Just A Few Folk", JP Coopers 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, RRY 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 Coopers 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 wasnt 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 Ive ever made, and I hope when you listen, youll feel the same freedom, humanity, and joy that I felt while making it.
