Taking it all back to where it began for him as an artist in Seymour, creating music that was personal and had a sense of communal belonging for his people in Tennessee, Erik Scott Smith, popularly known as (Erik with a K) returns to the basics with his latest single “Good Man” which is typical of modern pop and dance tracks. And while many have come to know him for his viral parody tracks, here, he showcases an artistic integrity that not many are aware of while still injecting his humor cleverly without diminishing the song’s emotional depth.
The powerful rhythm that features an electronic drum beat, including the kick, snare, hi-hats, and claps has been blended smoothly with the synthesizers that create a catchy melody and some stylistic effects to enhance the sound and depth of the track.
On the mic, Erik’s unmistakably distinct vocals steal the spotlight, aided by the catchy and easily memorable lyrics that contribute to the anthemic allure of this jam. While they may seem simple, they possess a deep meaning about wanting to be a positive person and adhering to principles and behaviors that reflect integrity, kindness, and responsibility.
The track’s section that features a conversation with his son about what is important in life is lovely and emotional, elevating the profound impact of this jam.
With this irresistibly infectious jam, Erik reminisces about where he’s come from and where he’s been. He obviously feels that Seymour is where his personality was molded and ultimately, where his heart is.
For anyone who appreciates pop music that reminds them of honky-tonks and dance halls and has always wished for a simple life devoid of drama, enriched with ethics, moral courage, self-improvement, responsibility, and integrity, “Good Man” is the one to blast over a maximum volume as you sing like no one’s listening and dance like no one’s watching!
