This year, we’ve experienced Canton Jones as upbeat and optimistic (“My Day”) and as a humorous social observer (“Hater Day”). “Nobody Cared,” another single from the Kingdom Business CD, explores the singer’s vulnerable side.

“I really messed up this time…embarrassed,” Jones admits in prayer. Whatever Jones has done, his optimistic side reappears when, at the song’s crescendo, he’s more confident than ever in the belief that “You loved me, when nobody cared at all.”

Listeners who prefer gospel that doesn’t lean toward hip hop will enjoy this slower, more introspective Canton cut with plenty of singing, preaching and background harmonies.

Incidentally, Canton Jones has just been nominated for five Stellar Awards. So come January, he may learn that, besides his Savior, many gospel music fans and industry types care about him, too.
