Aussie singer-songwriter TRENTAN has got me grooving through Hump Day with his dreamy new indie-pop track “Good Things.” It’s a feel-good track that surprisingly came out of the upheaval of the COVID pandemic. Last year the pandemic forced TRENTAN to leave his adopted home of Nashville, where he’d worked as a touring and session guitarist for the last decade, and return to Australia.
“The final version of the song lyrically finished with a slightly lighter hue, dancing more with the idea of knowing a ‘good thing’ in terms of the initial spark of relationship with someone new, and the exciting moment of chasing that down,” TRENTAN explained. “But I think there’s still a lot of one-liner type lyrics scattered throughout the song that speak to any situation where chasing a good thing usually comes with the understanding that you’ll have to push through some resistance”.
This song feels so fresh, but it’s got some real experience behind it. While it’s TRENTAN’s first single, he’s worked in the business for more than a decade. George McArdle of Little River Band also lends his bass talents to the track. It was mixed in Los Angeles by Nicolas Essig, who’s worked with Post Malone, Lane Del Rey, and Calvin Harris, and co-mastered by Grammy-winning engineers Emily Lazar and Chris Allgood. No wonder it sounds so good!
