Great Good Fine Ok’s new single, “Better Without You,” tells the story of a person who has a difficult choice to make about their relationship. They’re uncertain about whether or not they’re better without the other person. The song captures the painful back and forth of “what-if’s” that run through one’s mind when a relationship appears to be going sideways. The second verse talks about feeling confused and being drawn back in with one simple look into their partner’s eyes – once again delivering relatable lyrics that encapsulate the constant flood of emotions that come with an uncertain relationship. The lyrics, “Give me nine lives, I still wouldn’t know what to do,” perfectly summarize just how confusing love can sometimes be.
“Better Without You,” is a funky, slightly seductive, synthpop bop that will make you want to dance and contemplate the strength and certainty of your relationship at the same time. Paired with a slick bassline that creates the song’s infectious groove and the infusion of infectious synth keyboards, it has something for everyone to enjoy. Plus, Jon Sanders’ unique, airy vocals add a level of sultriness and mystique to the song that draws you in from the very beginning. Over the course of the three-minute track, GGFO also experiments with some fun, muffled vocal effects that further showcase the duo’s creativity. Overall, “Better Without You” is a definite must-listen-to track.
When vocalist Jon Sanders and producer Luke Moellman met, it was fate. The Brooklyn duo formed Great Good Fine Ok in 2013, writing their first song “You’re the One for Me,” the morning after they first met. Their first EP Blood Diamond was released in 2014. Shortly after, the duo began booking shows at the SXSW Festival and nabbed themselves record deals with Neon Gold and Epic Records. Great Good Fine Ok have also written and performed with some major names in the music industry. They’ve performed as supporting acts for artists including Tove Lo, Penguin Prisons, and X Ambassadors. Plus, the synthpop duo also co-wrote and performed on The Chainsmokers’ 2015 single “Let You Go". Since then, GGFO have embarked on several sold out headlining tours and amassed a loyal following of fans who always look forward to their eclectic live performances that tend to feature keytar solos, silk kimonos, and fun lighting elements. With an endless slate of single releases and five EPs under their belt, Great Good Fine Ok have had their foot on the gas from the very beginning. Stream their latest single, “Better Without You,” and jam out to the duo’s new dance hit!
