"Difference.," the latest single from GOODBADUGLY, the solo project of Gabriel Garcia, is raw and full of reflection, with a hilariously irresistible sound that spans the line between vulnerability and brass. The Brampton-based R&B singer/songwriter doesn't release a song; he lets you in on a late-night conversation that you didn't realize you were missing.
"Difference." is a small taste of what's to come from GOODBADUGLY's upcoming EP. The single plays into the emotional push-pull of rekindling an old flame, laying on the kind of sparkling sincerity that's just a tad bitter and in the best way. With understated production that gets out of the way and lets her vocals shine, this track is a slow burn, best for the introspective hours when memories grow loud and logic goes quiet.
"Difference." is not just a song; it is a statement, a seamless, late-night announcement from an artist who understands the power of emotional heft and musical understatement. GOODBADUGLY have something intriguing going on with this forthcoming EP, and if this track is any indication, it's going to make an impact far beyond Brampton.
"Difference." reminds us of how a genuine connection doesn't go away easily, and just how sad that is for hearts in the present. GOODBADUGLY sketches portraits of the way things used to be with just enough memories to make you feel it, but also just enough truth to make you wonder what you've compromised. He's not in a competition with the new guy in her life, but he knows he doesn't need to be. Because what did they have? That was different.
