The 3x Grammy-nominated country singer is opening up about the heart-wrenching pain of what it is like to go through relationships. Ingrid Andress unveils her new album called ‘Good Person‘.
Since releasing her debut album ‘Lady Like‘ during the pandemic in 2020, Ingrid continues to progress through her emotions and maybe real-life experiences by portraying her true feelings inside her new album.
With peaceful, delicate melodies, the singer becomes more transparent on her second album, ‘Good Person‘, by going through the tracks, passionately singing with emotions of anger, pain and distraught about the journey of ending relationships.
The opening track of the album ‘Good Person‘ begins with a dreamy poignant sound which delivers the concept of what a ‘Good Person’ is defined as. It seems as if Ingrid is trying to explore how a good person is supposed to behave in a relationship. This is why she sings about ‘Good person/How do you do it? /Do you just wake up with a smile on your face? Good person/ What does it look like/Seeing the world as a big happy place?‘
The album consists of thirteen laid-back country tracks, which sounds similar to a Taylor Swift album discussing the heartbreak and relationships she has gone through. However, unlike Taylor Swift, Ingrid brings her unique style to the track list by not just explaining what she went through but how it made her who she is today. She includes examples surrounding her, such as the heart-warming track ‘Yearbook’ passionately sung about the reminiscing of memories once shared between Ingrid’s parents, where she looks through a yearbook filled with joy, love and laughter.
All the songs deliver a combination of emotional musical structures and transparent lyrics about love. Inside the album, the country singer develops her tracks further by discussing the pain she has presumably gone through in loving people. For example, ‘How Honest Do You Want Me To Be’ conveys a relationship where two people have reached a point where they need to truly open up to how they feel about each other and how it can be an unbearable pain to express how you feel. Its also conveyed in the soothing track ‘Talk’, where Ingrid stumbles on some bumps in her relationship.
While speaking on honesty in the album, Ingrid opens up in a piano-led ballad showing how realising the truth about love can make you feel pain and distraught. This is what is added to the two songs, which connect called ‘No Choice’ and ‘Pain’. The tracks describe how being with someone in a toxic relationship, you analyse the cracks in the love you share, and it is time where you let them go to move on with yourself.
Ingrid sings with compassion, love and truth, and this is what we all expect from a talented singer like herself. Having a mixture of different songs in the album provides a contrast where music tends to be slow, and piano-led is about the heart-wrenching final of relationships. Whereas, the songs which are upbeat are where Ingrid concludes that it’s time to move on and become happier such as ‘Falling For You’ and ‘Feel Like This’.
‘Good person’ is like going on Ingrid’s journey of love and how tough breakups can be. However, as we reach the end of the album with Ingrid collaborating with Sam Hunt on ‘Wishful Drinking’, it reveals how although love can cause pain, there is still a light at the end of the tunnel waiting for you.
