Mike Edel Finds the Magic In Life With “Good About Everything”
Seattle-based Canadian musician Mike Edel is set to release his fourth album En Masse on November 20th, an aptly titled collection of songs featuring a handful of collaborators eager to discover and push Edel’s limits as an artist. His sound is bigger and brighter, making for a noticeable step forward for the songwriter. From the upcoming release is his new single “Good About Everything”, an essential song here to fight against the downpour of negativity and bad news in the world.
“If I could co-write a song with Springsteen and The National, then put a bit of pixie dust on it, ‘Good About Everything’ is it,” says Edel. “I co-wrote the song with two friends in San Diego after a night of eating ramen, riding around on scooters, getting denied from a capacity tiki bar, and after seeing some friends’ show. We ultimately decided to write about what a good night we had the night before.”
It’s soaring chorus and brightly coloured pop hooks give “Good About Everything” a compelling energy, transforming the ordinary into something special as he sings about the little things and giving them new meaning. Adding to the warm-spirited song, the accompanying music video is a playful look at an overbearing director (played by Mike) who eventually lets loose.
