Nory-J has released his new single ‘Tough Cookie’. Nory-J is the indie-pop pseudonym of former Bath phenomenon Jack Spooner. Telling the story of a self-destructive love interest, the song is a quintessentially British journey close to Jack’s heart reflecting his own self-destructive tendencies in a one-way conversation about remaining resilient through tough times. Performed on the biggest stage in Bath, and at a virtual TEDxBSU talk, the song is a hit among live music fanatics and Nory-J fans.

‘Tough Cookie’ is a delicately crafted gem that surges with the sweet and emotive songwriting of Nory-J. The track drifts along warm guitar and an uplifting drum foundation while Nory-J’s smooth vocals caress the tender melody with ease. The track is minimalist in its approach allowing the artists’ narrative to move to the fore as Nory-J croons comforting lyrics over the cinematic sing-along chorus and foot-tapping rhythm, “Don’t be that way, You beat yourself up on a Monday”. ‘Tough Cookie’ is a delight to listen to and highlights Nory-J’s effortless sound and wholesome musicianship. Press play and enjoy.
