The experimental electronica artist continues his creative momentum following the acclaimed LP The Last One Standing.
Jeremy James Whitaker has never been easy to pin down. Over the course of a career defined by restless creativity, he's moved fluidly between explosive synth-driven anthems and sparse, meditative soundscapes — always with an emotional honesty at the center that sets him apart from his peers. His new single, Conversation, is the latest proof that his voice in the world of experimental electronica is not only distinct, it's deepening.
Whitaker describes himself simply as “just a guy who loves God and music,” and that simplicity is actually the key to understanding why his work resonates the way it does. There's no artifice in the framing, and there's no artifice in the music. Whether he's layering intricate electronic textures or stripping a track down to its raw emotional core, the throughline is always the same: sincerity.
Conversation arrives on the heels of The Last One Standing, the full-length LP that proved Whitaker capable of sustaining a unified creative vision across an entire record. That album — a concept project exploring inner turmoil, faith, discipline, and the search for meaning — surprised even longtime fans who had assumed his expansive style was better suited to singles. He proved otherwise, and in doing so, raised the stakes for everything that follows.
The title Conversation feels deliberately intimate. It suggests two voices, a back and forth, something unresolved being worked through in real time. That quality of honest, ongoing dialogue — between the human and the divine, between doubt and conviction, between what we want and what we're given — has always been the emotional center of Whitaker's best work. Songs like “You're Listening” and “Will It Just Happen” from The Last One Standing demonstrated his willingness to sit inside that tension without forcing easy resolution. Conversation appears to continue in that same spirit.
For a music fan who loves God and music in equal measure, the two were never separate categories to begin with. In Whitaker's world, a song is always both things at once — a craft exercise and a prayer, a creative expression and a confession. That dual nature is what gives his music its staying power long after the last note fades.
Conversation is available now on Spotify and all major streaming platforms.
