Maddox Jones – Somebody Like You ft. Gummy DJ
British indie heart meets German club pulse on a euphoric anthem that proves the biggest dance records can still be an emotional belter.
Built on pulsing four-on-the-floor kicks and shimmering arpeggiated synths, 'Somebody Like You' evolves from lovely, close intimate verses into explosive euphoric drops. The production gleams with warm atmospheric pads, balancing bright festival energy against an undercurrent of melancholy that mirrors the lyrics' central longing. The synth work is banging, but it's Maddox's vocals that shines beautifully. His emotive vocal cuts through the wall of sound, while the irresistible chorus captures that bittersweet ache of searching for connection. The accompanying video, filmed across Hamburg's streets and clubs, matches the song's blend of exhilaration and yearning.
Northampton's Maddox Jones first found success fronting The Departure, landing four UK Top 40 singles and sharing stages with The Killers and Placebo. His 2020 solo debut EP 'Headspace' hit number four on iTunes, while recent singles have topped Music Week charts. Gummy DJ brings German electronic firepower, having amassed 14 million YouTube views since 2023 with productions that fuse classic rave energy with sleek modern sonics. A real banger this one, more of it please.
