Marking a powerful return, rising vocalist J.P. (@josiahgillie) unveils his most introspective work yet with the release of “My Peace.” It’s a soul-soaked single that listeners are sure to love. Known for his genre-blending artistry, J.P. strips it all back on this latest offering, embracing vulnerability through warm harmonies, acoustic guitar, and gospel-infused vocals.
“My Peace” is a love song for the person who brings calm in the chaos. Thus, a tender ode to emotional safety. With lines like “You’re my peace when I’m troubled… calm me down before I blow up,” J.P. paints a vivid picture of healing through connection. The track’s minimalist production allows his vocal texture and honest lyricism to shine. Moreover, it merges elements of R&B, jazz, and spiritual soul into an emotionally rich soundscape.
However, after a year of stepping away from the public eye, J.P. returns with clarity and intention. Fans noticed his sudden hiatus after a whirlwind rise, including viral success with the platinum-streamed “Bad Bitty.” But instead of chasing momentum, he chose silence, reflection, and realignment. That pause birthed “My Peace.”
“Coming back with ‘MY PEACE’ felt necessary,” J.P. shares. “It’s the first time I’ve made something that sounds like how I actually feel. I wasn’t trying to prove anything. Just needed a record that could breathe.”
The single builds on momentum from The Groove, a raw live performance series that hinted at this softer, stripped-down direction. While longtime fans may know him for high-energy hits, “My Peace” shows a new side: grounded, soulful, and deeply personal.
With a full-length project arriving this summer, “My Peace” signals J.P.’s evolution. Not just as an artist, but as a storyteller of spirit and sound. Rooted in the soul of Milwaukee and the voices of legends like Al Green and Sam Cooke, J.P. is entering his most honest era yet.
