JD Hinton Unveils Blues-Drive Anthem “Beautiful Woman”

Acclaimed for his soulful melodies and poignant storytelling, singer-songwriter JD Hinton sets the stage with his latest single “Beautiful Woman.” Both bluesy and evocative, “Beautiful Woman” transports listeners into the dimly lit ambiance of a nightclub, where cigarettes linger in the air, whiskey glasses clink, and a mysterious figure commands the spotlight. With songs often likened to vivid portraits, each lyric paints a picture, delivering an unforgettable cinematic soundscape. Behind “Beautiful Woman” lies a tale inspired by the enigmatic presence of a blonde actress and her entourage, strolling down Mulholland Drive. It’s a narrative of desire, ambition, and allure – a woman who craves not just any role in a film but a powerful one, shrouded in ambiguity that leaves you questioning her intentions.

“She’s a beautiful woman, They’re the dangerous kind / She’s got the prettiest, This ‘n That heaven ever designed” ~ Beautiful Woman

The song’s introduction sets the scene with vivid flair, depicting a woman effortlessly turning heads as she traverses the street, leaving men spellbound in her wake. As Hinton recounts, the mere mention of this seductive figure silenced a room full of spectators during one of his electrifying performances. The protagonist is the dangerous kind, but it’s never known if she is good or bad. We recall the Ross McDonald quote “She walked as if she owned the world, or had owned it once and lost it, but remembered how it felt”.

JD Hinton’s musical prowess has garnered him acclaim on stages in Los Angeles and New York, including sold-out performances at esteemed venues such as Rockwood Music Hall, Vitello’s, and the House of Blues. He even had the honor of performing at the Vatican for the Pope. His multifaceted career, which spans from his days as a midnight to dawn disc jockey to acting roles in popular TV shows, reflects his boundless creativity and versatility. His improvisational skills, honed during his radio days, led to acting roles in popular TV shows such as “The Morning Show,” “The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles,” and “Jane the Virgin.” As Hinton prepares to release his upcoming EP, “Five Smooth Stones,” this spring, “Beautiful Woman” serves as a tantalizing glimpse into the emotional depth and artistry that defines his music. With comparisons to legends like Leonard Cohen, Peter Gabriel, and Robbie Robertson, Hinton continues to captivate audiences with his heartfelt melodies and timeless storytelling.
