Drummers are often deceiving musical figures, hiding behind a drum kit, hitting it with sticks and focusing on the main groove. Yet, when they step out into the limelight, good things tend to happen. Take Californian musician rian hart, a drummer turned producer and songwriter. ‘GOOD TIMES’ is his debut effort, a powerful, bright banger that marks a new chapter for the talented creative.
From a genre standpoint, the track strikes a working compromise between main room EDM and mainstream pop melodism. The result is an electrifying, kinetic piece that’s highly evocative and anthemic. The ‘GOOD TIMES’ refrain is made to be sung out loud by a like-minded audience, with a catchy drop giving the piece a strong dose of club-oriented euphoria. What more could you wish for? Maybe more music… this is only the beginning.
Delving deeper into the highly relatable lyricism that propels the song, hart explains: “It captures that bittersweet feeling of missing someone while still being grateful for what you shared.” In that sense, the track embraces nostalgic romance, a timely theme given all the summer flings that are now likely on their way out… rian’s stance on the issue is still pretty optimistic, as he favours positivity over despair. Good for him!
