Drawing us in with an astral organ riff, expanding with a dimensional baseline, guitar melodies and textured drums, Molly Devine opens Good Vibes Only with a seductive energy and captivating timbre as she reminisces on her situational reality.
The opus expands with an assertive nature as Molly demonstrates her boundaries with the hook, “don’t come over, don’t come over…”. Molly pertains to how she seeks “Good Vibes Only…” and as as result, we feel empowered.
The artist showcases her self-realized nature as the lyrics evolve with strength, further cementing Molly’s destiny to function on a high vibrational frequency. The addition of the bell tones for the second verse are only more in line with the idea of waking up to her own power.
The psychedelic guitar performance that emerges is exquisite and the bridge and middle eight switch up with stunning layered harmonies is refined and poetic. The stripped back pre-chorus before an anthemic finale, feels funky and intentional as Molly raises her own vibe along with ours!
Speaking on the inception of the song, Molly confesses, “In the middle of a rough breakup, I bought this mirror that said Good Vibes Only in rainbow neon lights. It became a little mantra — a reminder that I didn’t have to stay stuck in the sadness. One day I started humming, ‘for a while there I was sad and lonely, now I’m living on good vibes only’, and the whole song just flowed from there.” This mood is reflected in the editorial that accompanies the single release!
Fans of to Jessie Ware, Roisin Murphy, and Chromeo might be able to connect with Good Vibes Only, but there is no doubt that Molly Devine is manifesting a high frequency of her own! The track marks a bold new beginning for Molly Devine, embracing a disco-soul-pop sound that feels like home after years of genre exploration. It kicks off a fresh era of danceable, retro-tinged tracks full of heart, soul, and energy.
Naturally, we have added Good Vibes Only to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream Molly Devine‘s wider discography, and anticipate future releases from the star!
