Crafting a relatable song is not that easy, but Phillip Good seems to know exactly what to do. Delving into his own consciousness, the Cincinnati storyteller crafts a beautiful tribute to lost love through poignant and emotional lyricism, perhaps connecting with the listener on a deeper level. We are confident that ‘WAKE ME UP’ will resonate greatly with anyone experiencing the pain of losing someone they love.
Sonically, Good keeps things rather minimal, using a skeleton-like arrangement that directly draws on pop and RnB influences. While the production is indeed quite scarce, it all helps Phillip’s vocals take centre stage and fully flourish in glorious melodies, sharing an inherently honest and introspective quality. His malleable and evocative tone is just stunning.
Apparently, ‘WAKE ME UP’ is doing very well on social media; we don’t have trouble believing that, taking note of the lyrical relevance contained in the song. Also, Good’s streaming numbers are particularly impressive, surpassing the million mark overall. It’s a sign that the project is working very well, and is finding a fertile audience: will you be part of it?
