Behind the Song

Good Love was written during a moment of frustration trying to figure out what I wanted out of this romantic relationship I'd been in for a while. Everything was complicated and messy but at the end of the day it is 'good love' and that is something worth holding onto. The song itself, co-written by a good friend Espy Magaña and myself and produced by GEO, came together so quickly and naturally. Going into production, I had an idea that i wanted this track to be a throwback to 70s dirty, Chicano soul music but keep it modern and current as well. Geo took that and ran with it and we ended up with something that felt fresh but still stayed true to myself and my sound.
