Joe Jackson is a sharp-witted British singer-songwriter and musician who burst onto the late-1970s new wave scene with a knack for blending post-punk energy, jazz, and pop into something distinctly his own. Known for his literate lyrics and restless musical ambition, Jackson has ranged across styles from ska-inflected rock to sophisticated orchestral pop across a decades-long career. His album Hope and Fury showcases the socially engaged songwriting and genre-defying inventiveness that have made him a cult favorite among discerning music fans.
