Northampton, UK – January 29, 2026 – Northampton singer-songwriter Maddox Jones steps into 2026 with a bold reimagining of one of his most beloved tracks. “No More Ghosts,” originally the closing song on his 2020 debut EP Headspace, returns as a dance-infused synthpop anthem that marks his first new music since the acclaimed second album Waiting for the World to Turn.
Six years on, the song feels like a conversation between who Maddox was then and who he is now. What began as a delicate, slow-burning ballad has been transformed into a pulsing, confident synthpop track. Retaining the same emotional weight and themes of lingering past relationships and the struggle to let go, the 2026 version feels lighter, clearer, and filled with release. Pulsing synths and expansive production replace the original’s stripped-back arrangement, reflecting growth, acceptance, and forward motion.
The release is accompanied by a striking new visualiser that uses subtle shifts in light, shadow, and movement to mirror the song’s journey — from being haunted by memories to finally finding stillness and closure.
“This song has followed me for much of my solo journey,” says Maddox. “Reimagining it now feels like closing a chapter with strength and peace.”
The single arrives ahead of two major live commitments: Maddox supports Great Adamz at the St. Crispin Community Centre on Valentine’s Day (February 14) and joins Tyler Hilton and Katie Voegele on their European tour in April, celebrating the music of One Tree Hill:
- Copenhagen – April 21
- Berlin – April 23
- Munich – April 24
- Vienna – April 26
- Zurich – April 28
- Milan – April 29
Maddox enjoyed early success with The Departure (four Top 40 hits, performances with The Killers and Placebo, and festivals including Glastonbury and Reading & Leeds). As a solo artist, he has built a strong following, with his EP Headspace reaching #4 on the iTunes Singer-Songwriter chart and “Can’t Wait for the Summer” hitting #1. Recent highlights include a #1 on the Music Week Black Music Club Chart with Great Adamz on “Body & Soul” and being named Songwriter of the Year at the Northamptonshire Local Music Awards.
“No More Ghosts” is available now on all major streaming platforms.
