Written by Maddox Jones is embarking on an anticipated return with the release of his deluxe album, ‘(Still) Waiting For The World To Turn.’ Following the release of 2024’s ‘Waiting For The World To Turn,’ Jones unveils a rich tapestry of reimagined renditions and bonus originals for listeners to indulge in.
Lead single ‘21’ kicked off excitement for the deluxe edition, which is soundtracking Jones’ current run on UK tour with Lucy Spraggan. As he’s embraced by audiences with his authentic, personal songwriting and dynamic fusion of rock, indie, and pop, this portrait of the painful test of time aches with nostalgia, yet wistfully invites listeners to a hopeful next chapter. As he accepts fading youth, the future is set to be greater for Maddox, who already has a sea of fans waving flashlights and singing along to the arena-ready track.
This heartfelt essence continues with the reinterpreted title track ‘(Still) Waiting For The World To Turn.’ Infused with characterful warmth, laidback acoustics and dreamy backing vocals, this is the perfect, uplifting soundtrack to anyone happy with accepting life’s ups and downs. The artist’s ability to explore raw emotional depth – from sorrow to moments of reflection, helps maintain a personal resonance throughout the album.
It’s the bonus track, ‘So Help Me God’, that introduces an electrifying atmosphere to the collection. His vocals, rich and gravelly, add grit to the sunny indie-rock whirlwind, refusing to shy away from opening up on his emotions. As he urges himself to get it together, he wrestles with self-doubt in a way that feels deeply relatable – we’ve all experienced moments where our own confidence holds us back.
Yet with this dynamic deluxe edition, he’s clearly pushing through the struggles.
