Singer-songwriter Maddox Jones takes it all to the next level with a new 2026 sound that's more personal and exhilarating than ever. "No More Ghosts," his new release, is an overhaul of a song that has stalked him secretly ever since it first appeared on Headspace, one of his EPs, in 2020. What was once an achingly slow, tender ballad has become a danceable, synth-driven song about memory, growth, and moving on.
The shift in the song is immediate and unmistakable. Pulsing synths and big production give the familiar melody a new lease on life. The song shifts from calm and introspective to danceable. Even with its delightfully upbeat sound, it retains the emotional gravity that propelled the track six years ago. It’s a dialogue between the past and the present, a musical diary entry that muses on memories that persist and how time clarifies things and lets them go.
As production has evolved, so has Jones’s voice. In the original version, you sounded as if you contemplated things quietly. But this new take is confident and self-assured, without losing its emotional heart. Every note and layered synth feel deliberate, guiding the listener through an aural odyssey that mirrors these themes of progress and acceptance.
