Ryan Mack – “Good Life”

Hailing from County Kildare and born as Ryan McLoughin, this Irish singer and songwriter was introduced to music by his musician dad, who used to play in pubs. He studied songwriting at the BIMM Institute in Dublin. Hearing Louis Walsh on the radio announcing auditions for a new boy band, he decided to try out and became a member of chart toppers Home Town. They disbanded in 2016. Inspired by Joni Mitchell, Counting Crows and Nirvana, he released his solo debut “Sofa” in 2018.

Reminding listeners to embrace and celebrate the simple pleasures in life and relativize the daily grind that depresses us each day, his new single is brimming with cheerful sonic sunshine. With an electronic rhythm and computer game-like sounds laying down a lively scintillation, it’s the upbeat, sun-drenched chorus that adds an infectious joy to the tune. And with his lighthearted and jaunty vocals making you want to whistle along, this is a radiant summertime bop.
