Lenny Friday & The Wager and McCoy have shared a new single called "Good Time". The track fluidly blends hip-hop, indie, trap, alt-pop, and jazz, while pulling unexpected inspiration from traditional boleros of Latin America. The result is a soundscape that feels cinematic and fresh, produced between the artists' home studios in Bend, Oregon. The creative process behind the release was rooted in the unique environment of Bend’s High Desert, where both artists live. Its stark beauty and wide horizons served as inspiration, shaping the atmosphere of "Good Time".
"Good Time" begins with rich, warm guitar riffs, leading into vibrant keyboards and energizing, emotive vocals, before a sturdy, trap-influenced drum line drops in. Underscored by an infectious, punchy bass-line, the track's dynamic verses rise into a cathartic, ear-worm chorus, making for an impactful, diverse listen.
At its core, the song explores the darker edges of relationships- specifically the experience of being used, whether flaunted online or leveraged as a stepping stone. Through its layered production and raw, heartfelt vocals, “Good Time” moves beyond heartbreak to confront the tension between recognition and exploitation.
Lenny Friday & The Wager and McCoy's vivid, memorable new song "Good Time" marks just one of several collaborations with McCoy on the upcoming album FALLING IN LOVE IN FUNNY HATS.
