North By Some Miles has always thrived in liminal spaces; somewhere between the intimacy of confessional songwriting and the polish of modern pop craft. With the remix of “What About Love?”, the UK-based project trades candlelit introspection for a wider lens, pushing its sound toward the communal glow of the dancefloor.
Where the original leaned on piano textures and jazz-tinged flourishes, this reimagined version pulses with sleek synths and aerodynamic grooves. The track doesn’t reinvent the architecture of electronic pop, it nods openly to the euphoric swells of Kygo and the arena-ready sheen of Calvin Harris, but what keeps it from feeling anonymous is its emotional core. The refrain, a dialogue on love as a cure for banality, remains intact, only now it’s wrapped in production designed to crest and crash like a festival drop.
There’s a tension at play: the lyrics yearn for stillness and connection, while the instrumental insists on forward motion. That push and pull gives the remix its gravity. It feels less like a casual pivot into EDM and more like a test case for how North By Some Miles might reconcile their storytelling instincts with the demands of pop maximalism.
It’s easy to imagine “What About Love? (Remix)” spilling out of car stereos on late-night drives, or closing a DJ set as the sky blushes with dawn. It’s music aimed at shared experience, but it doesn’t lose the solitary voice at its center. In that way, it works as both a departure and an extension, proof that North By Some Miles can stretch toward the ecstatic without erasing the quiet truths that define their work.
