GOOD VIBES TONIGHT
MJ, ”Jake,” Lenderman’s latest single “Good Vibes Tonight,” comes as a spirited companion piece to his most recent release, a three track EP titled “Lucky.” In Lucky, we witness similar songwriting and sensibility, where the overall sense of loneliness, its poetic overstatement and callback to country heartbreak, renders the introspective voice more universal. At times, we even smile at its severity, when he calls out “it never ends when you’re alone.”
Good Vibes Tonight, a single which Jake said was based on the illustration featured below, titled “On Top of The World,” takes itself less seriously, delivering a portrait of a person whose fleeting elation still feels somehow lonely. A result that is so specific to the storytelling of MJ Lenderman.
