GOODBADUGLY keeps it simple in his new release, “honest. “It’s a deeply felt, lyrically spare ballad that lands like a hushed confession amid a hurricane. Just released via Awesome Productions, the up-and-coming Canadian singer-songwriter goes beyond wearing his heart on his sleeve, opening it wide and letting it bleed on every note.
“honest.” is not glossy or over-produced. Instead, it exists between yearning and acceptance, where vulnerability is a gentle power. The production is spare and atmospheric, leaving space for GOODBADUGLY’s voice to take center stage, part tender, part wounded, part unafraid.
What you see in others exists in yourself, the good, the bad, and the ugly. This self-aware, almost poetic lens gives “honest.” its edge. It’s about what it means to be imperfect, passionate, and unafraid of saying the things most of us leave unsaid. “honest.” feels like an after-hours conversation with your most honest self. GOODBADUGLY sings and lives honesty. Each line lays bare another layer, requesting you to sit with your truth. The detail lends an air of authenticity to imperfect, all-too-human love that stings as much as it heals. This song finds you where you are, whether in love, out of love, or somewhere between. And at a moment when so much feels performative, GOODBADUGLY offers us something usefully sincere.
