Drive to JP (Reworked) is more than just a new take on an old track—it’s a reflection on growth, hindsight, and evolution. Originally one of the core pieces of my debut album Phantom Streets, this updated version brings a fresh perspective to a familiar ride. It’s longer, more detailed, and richer in texture, yet it preserves the upbeat momentum and adventurous energy that defined the original.
With its lively tempo and rhythmic drive, Drive to JP was always meant to feel like movement—like heading toward something just out of reach, a destination both literal and emotional. In this reworked edition, that sense of journey remains, but the path is clearer, more dynamic, and thoughtfully expanded. New layers have been added, transitions refined, and small imperfections smoothed out, not to erase the past, but to build upon it.
Revisiting Phantom Streets as a whole has been a strange experience. At the time, I couldn’t imagine doing things any differently—those tracks were exactly what they needed to be. But now, with time, experience, and a better understanding of my own sound, I see the potential to go deeper. This version of Drive to JP feels more complete to me, more aligned with the artist I’m becoming.
It’s a strange feeling—revisiting your past self and tweaking what once felt finished. But sometimes, with a bit of distance, you can hear the track that was trying to exist underneath the one you released.
Let me know what you think of this version. Do you prefer the original, or does this rework hit differently?
