The track continues to showcase the thoughtful, nuanced appeal of the artist.
On his new single ‘Good Time’, Irish artist smythy continues to showcase the fun nature of his personality-filled sound while showcasing more of the multi-faceted depth and nuance of his writing, making for a bittersweet but ultimately sweet release.
The track has this effortlessly serene, surf rock aesthetic that feels as carefree as anything you’re likely to hear anytime soon, but the lyrics encase the feelings of anxiety and depression that the artist feels and the instant gratification and quick fixes that he has sought after to feel better. The catchy pop melodies are gorgeous throughout, and the artist has this innate, affable appeal that surrounds his work and his laid-back style, with his indie pop sensibilities doing a great job of masking the more harsh realities that the track deals with. This makes for a really thoughtful and interesting single that is much more than meets the eye, and one that you can either enjoy at surface level or take a deeper dive into.
