MACY – I’m Good (2021)

MACY caught us in wisps of dark-pop with ‘Smoking Gun’ before getting us moving to her rhythm with the dream-pop splashes of ‘Obvious’. Now, she is taking a slight trip into the past for some 80s pop sounds in ‘I’m Good’. Packed with fun and colour, the single brings feel-good lyrics to a catchy soundscape.

The positive and vibrant vibes of the single merge with the pop stylings to help listeners get through the tough times. While bringing the colour of retro tones to our ears, she mixes in something modern and connectable. This creates a single that you can feel bolstering your strength while getting you excited for her upcoming EP.



‘I’m Good’ brings the fun vibes from the first moment as it throws you into a slightly retro party mood. The beats bounce through your chest and the clapping tones have you moving to their rhythm. It is a really infectious melody that you can’t help but move to. While the retro tones can be heard, there is a modern edge to them that brings a contemporary feeling to the single. This makes the track easier to connect with while shining with the bright light of strength and happiness. Through all of this, the melody glitters and twinkles with bouncing happiness that makes you think of pastel colours, particularly when the guitar calls playfully from the background.

The good vibes are not limited to the melody as MACY’s vocals pulse and bounce between the melodic notes. Her voice opens the track with a touch of sobriety as she dives into break-up and heartbreak. This is left in the past for the chorus that brings a burst of strength and upliftment. Through the lyrics, she takes your hand and leads you forward leaving the sadness of a breakup in the dust. If you need a track that lifts your spirits and says everything you want to, this is the one for you. The harmonising vocals later in the track are an additional playful edge that is utterly wonderful.

MACY has you bouncing around to happy tones and vibrant energy while leaving heartbreak and pain in the dust through ‘I’m Good’. The melody has you feeling the fun from the first moment and doesn’t let up for a single second. Her vocals dive into heartbreak only to pick you up, dust you off and shove any sadness into the past.
