Jayson’s Pick: Good Neighbours “Walk Walk Walk”
Jayson’s pick this week is “Walk Walk Walk” by Good Neighbors. The upbeat indie pop-rock tune kicks off with an infectious synth hook. The English duo have a knack for making a feel-good anthem that resonates with the masses, proven by the success of their debut single, “Home” last year. Good Neighbors has continued this streak by creating their debut album, Blue Sky Mentality, to be chalk-full of hook driven melodies. “Walk Walk Walk” stands out among the 14 song record released on October 3rd, for its timeless message of walking with your head held high. Listen to “Walk Walk Walk” by Good Neighbors all week long!
