These synths are combined with modern electropop to create an easygoing, dance-oriented production. The sound is\u00a0contemporary and club-friendly, but it also has a nostalgic character that places the listener in the classic sounds of early electronic music.\u00a0Maddox Jones&#8217; vocal performance gives the song its rock spirit despite its electronic elements. His voice gives the song authenticity and meaning with its powerful 1980s AOR style. This vocal aspect keeps the tune from being a totally mechanical dance piece by adding significance and personality. Synthwave, electropop, and dance elements are expertly combined in the arrangement to create a professional sound that would fit in well with musicians like The Weeknd. The mid-tempo pace slightly slows down in 2:40, providing a space for mindfulness before the song picks up speed again. Slight rock guitars appear in the background when the song picks again to a faster tempo, barely visible but still heard in the mix. No More Ghosts offers a positive and exciting listening experience for fans of dance music boosted with multi-layered synths and a strong electropop vibe from the 1980s, which is further improved by the mastering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Maddox Jones - No More Ghosts (Futurepop Mix) - Official Visualizer\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cohvqJ5VO2k?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/itsmaddoxjones\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/itsmaddoxjones<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a class=\"twitter-timeline\" data-width=\"640\" data-height=\"960\" data-dnt=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/itsmaddoxjones?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">Tweets by itsmaddoxjones<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/itsmaddoxjones\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/itsmaddoxjones<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The song begins with vibrant electronic synths that are obviously influenced by Depeche Mode&#8217;s late&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":29551,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14,5],"tags":[2995,4817,2692],"class_list":["post-29550","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pop-rock-reviews","category-reviews","tag-electro-pop","tag-maddox-jones","tag-synthwave"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29550","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29550"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29550\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29552,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29550\/revisions\/29552"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29551"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29550"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29550"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29550"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
