Coming to you with a magnetic bassline and rhythms that will have you movin’ and groovin’ in no time, ‘GOOD ENOUGH’ by Carl De Villa is the banger that your playlist is missing out on.
Irresistible synths and percussion come together to create the musical architecture of this splendid dance-pop track. The song does not try to overcomplicate its structure, and instead works with what was introduced right at the beginning in dynamic manners, by playing with pace and intensity. This simplification allows one to completely immerse themselves in the track and its rhythms, allowing it to move your body to its command.
Carl's vocals in the song are simply outstanding, as they effortlessly stretch across registers, showcasing immense vocal talent and strength. They hold in them both vulnerability, honesty, and strength in a beautifully balanced manner. With a magnetic energy coming through their vocals, you cannot help but sing along to the song as you dance your heart out.
The song, despite its super groovy and sultry dancefloor energy, comes from Carl's own life story as a non-binary person. Beyond the glamour and fame, we see the paths and trenches they have to traverse as an individual to get to where they are now. Being repeatedly told that one is “not good enough” can greatly affect one emotionally, convincing them they really are not deserving of what their heart yearns and dreams for. But through Carl’s story we see that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel, if we continue walking with the hope of seeing that beacon of light.
