Single Release “Good Grief”

Wallow in the “Good Grief” of Jessica O’Donoghue With Her Mesmerising New Track and Video

Musically, “Good Grief” is as beautiful as we’ve come to expect from Jessica O’Donoghue. The vocals are as effective as the building instrumentation in building tension in the track, effortlessly moving between near whispers and lung-busting choruses. Alongside the elegant electronics, “Good Grief” is just another chapter in the growing story of O’Donoghue and further builds excitement for the full release of Rise Up on September 23rd

Art As Catharsis is proud to release Jessica O’Donoghue’s new single, Good Grief – a dark and visceral piece of art-pop.

“Good Grief is about going through the process of losing a loved one (in this case my Dad). Although grieving can be painful, actually the sentiment is a welcoming of the grieving process as a way to remember the lost one, a way to celebrate and appreciate what you had rather than to purely mourn what is lost, and to honour and acknowledge your feelings, holding a space for yourself while still moving forwards. It’s a letting go of fear and an expression of relief to finally stare grief in the face, to succumb to the vulnerability, which ultimately brings inner peace. It also represents a grieving of past selves as one evolves on a personal journey and this really comes to life in the video clip beautifully directed by Saskia Burmeister. We see the woman's journey at different stages of life, a letting go and a liberation from external facades and expectations. The strength of surrender, an act of acceptance”
