According to ASCAP, the honor “recognizes inspiring women in the music community, honoring songwriters, artists and executives including managers, attorneys, label executives and music publishers.”
“This event is so special to us. Over the past 16 years, ASCAP Women Behind the Music has given us a platform to celebrate exemplary women and their incredible achievements as leaders in the music industry,” says Nicole George-Middleton, ASCAP’s senior vice president of membership and ASCAP Foundation executive director.
George-Middleton continues, “We are so proud to recognize the women who have made such a
profound impact through their leadership and art, and we hope to empower the next generation to do the same.”
In addition to Jones, other honorees this year include Emmy-winning composer Amanda Jones and Autumn Rowe, a Grammy-winning songwriter and advocate.
No announcement has been made about who will salute the women at the ceremony. However, George-Middleton will present and congratulate the 2024 recipients, presented by ASCAP Rhythm & Soul department.
In October, Jones collaborated with Future and London on da Track on the “Most Beautiful Design,” also the third song release leading up to her first full-length project, slated for a 2025 arrival.
“I’ve always been a fan of rap and R&B duets, so being able to modernize that format alongside Future – a rapper with such longevity and years of success in the game, is so exciting to me,” said Jones of her collaboration with Future and London on da Track.
Jones added, “‘Most Beautiful Design’ is the space London on da Track discovered where both of our worlds collide and we get to find common ground as, rapper and singer, and as man and woman.”
Over the course of 2024, Jones shared two other songs, “Sweep It Up,” and “Here We Go (Uh Oh).” The latter track landed in May and has since then hit No. 7 on Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay chart – her second top 10 hit as a lead artist.
Regarding the song’s inspiration, Coco Jones exclusively told Rated R&B, “I think the music inspired the song concept because I feel like with the sample, it feels like this orchestra and like a mystery.
