Such Fun by Clay Goodman Provides a Glimpse of Youthful Joy with Genuine Simplicity
Singer-songwriter Clay Goodman, hailing from Wise, US, brings a delightful twist of fresh melody with “Such Fun,” his debut single. Songwriter’s sincerity and youthfulness resonate with musical nostalgia and draw on a captivating blend of influences from genres popularized by The Beatles or Oasis, U2 or Elliott Smith, and the like, to uncover that familiar sound that is at once familiar and original.
“Such Fun” is a warm, music-driven tune with a catchy road-trip melody that evokes coming-of-age feelings. Written while Clay worked in retail, the song relies heavily on personal relationships and the reflective chaos of youth in the late 2010s. The song wears its raw edges as genuinely as its driving honesty and effort, and offers an honest account of Clay’s diligence towards craft and authenticity.
Goodman's DIY approach is undoubtedly part of the track's charm. He recorded everything in his home studio (except for the drums) and even mastered it, which means the final product sits somewhere between the intimacy of lo-fi and the polished energy of professionally recorded music. It's not overproduced, which is why it does work. "Such Fun" is not just a debut; it's a statement. Clay Goodman may be at the forefront of the journey, but the music of this quality and meaning shows he is well on his way.
