Why Becca Stevens' 'Good Stuff' is a Song You Need to Know
Dance music has always embraced empowerment pop anthems — think “I Will Survive,” “I’m Every Woman,” and “No More Tears ,” each a classic of rhythm and roar. In and of themselves, those relentless disco beats serve as a forceful riposte to feelings of suppression.’ “Good Stuff” isn’t quite on the same grand, Studio 54 level as those earlier songs, but it’s a spiritual and musical successor to them — a retro-disco soufflé that makes you think and sway at the same time.
Hailing originally from North Carolina but currently on the Brooklyn scene, Stevens has always been musically hard to pin down. Over the last two decades, she’s worked in various idioms — jazz, indie and orchestral pop, and folk rock, the latter with frequent collaboratorAdhering to a career filled with left turns, “Good Stuff” is itself a quirky take on retro disco.
But in the choruses, the song explodes into glitter-ball ecstasy — a warm bath of harmonies and four-to-the-floor rhythm that provides a welcome release to the tensions of the verses. Those choruses are the most hopeful, upbeat parts of the song – a hint of victory that will carry her, and listeners, into the next battle.
