The expression of hard-fought optimism encapsulates “The Good Kind”, an album exploring themes of sexuality, relationships, community, and illness. Our Girl’s trademark dynamics permeate the record, from heavy guitars and soaring lead lines to ear worm choruses and intimate vocal moments. Filled with warmth and honesty, “The Good Kind” is a celebration of determination – of choosing to recommit to what matters, against all opposition. “A lot of the songs are about taking setbacks and turning them into superpowers” says drummer Lauren Wilson.
We were lucky to have some wonderful collaborators on this song, including Stella Mozgawa who helped bring this song to life in its early stages – when it was just a baby demo before it came to be what it is now. Another one was Fern Ford who, in the final moment of working on the album, put the glorious cherry on top of the middle 8 of this song. The song was fully tracked, including the strings, but it felt like something was missing in the middle 8 – it wasn’t giving us the heightened swelling feeling we were after. Fern opened up the strings section and added these swoops that felt so perfect, they sounded like fireworks and it just tied everything together. It’s the best feeling to love something so instantly and to be able to tell someone that. Was a good way to finish the record!
We hope you like this song and thanks as always for being on our mailing list and supporting us, we appreciate you!
