Welcome to BuzzMusic, Jessica Sole. What personal experiences with relationships inspired you to create such a vulnerable and honest song like "Good In Goodbye?"

Thank you for having me! Good in Goodbye is inspired by a friend of mine. She and I have FaceTime dates as often as we can since she lives in BC and I’m in Ontario. I remember during one call, she was telling me she had bad news; the guy she was seeing had broken up with her. Then she said that the breakup wasn’t even the worst news but that he didn’t give her a reason to hate him when he left. She said he didn’t cheat on her, didn’t lie to her, didn’t say anything mean, and that he really “gave me the good in goodbye.” As soon as she told me that, I said, “one second, I need to write this down”. The next day I brought the idea to a co-writer, Elias James, and the song was born.

What was your collaboration like with producer Shawn Moore? How did he help execute the vision you had in mind?

Shawn and I have been working together for the last few years now! He produced my last EP, “Think of Us,” recorded at Catherine North Studios in Hamilton, Ontario. He also produced my upcoming EP while we were in Nashville and is a co-writer on one of the tracks. Getting to work on my music alongside such good friends is so special. Shawn puts everything he has into every project he works on. He’s a pro in every sense of the word.

Were there any personal challenges you experienced when creating such an

intimate song as "Good In Goodbye?" How did you overcome these obstacles, if

any?

It’s always so exciting releasing a song so intimate as “Good In Goodbye.” In the lyrics, I

wanted to capture that feeling of wishing for closure and for a reason to fall out of love

and move on from your ex. I wasn’t going through those specific emotions during the writing process, which made the creative process a bit different from than songs I wrote about my personal life. I’m so proud of this song and excited about all the wonderful feedback it's been receiving!

How does "Good In Goodbye" relate to the overall theme or concept of your upcoming sophomore EP? Could you drop any hints about what that project is about?

When we were working on this EP, we wanted to bring some more pop elements into my sound. Good in Goodbye sounds the most pop out of all the songs on the project. Listeners can expect more of that country pop production vibe mixed with key country sounds and storytelling!

What's next for you?

I’m so excited to release the rest of this EP in 2023! The songs on this project are some

of my favorites I’ve ever written; I’m looking forward to sharing them!
