Will 2024 be the year that you learn to love yourself?

Make it so! We have an anthem of self-acceptance for you, hot off the presses from Laura Mustard. The Nashville-based pop-folk songwriter released “Good Enough” to acknowledge her struggles with self-love, as she has worked to reconcile the space between the pressure artists feel to be performative on social media, while having grown up with medical issues that made her resent her reflection.

“It’s been said that ‘in a culture that profits off of our insecurities, loving yourself is a rebellious act.’ I think anyone with insecurities in our culture probably struggles with feeling ‘enough,'” Mustard said. “This was the first song I wrote after I moved to Nashville, and it was exciting to feel this new confidence that came along with finally moving to my dream city for music. I tried to pair that confidence with being really intentional about my thoughts. I’m not perfect; I still have days when the ‘vicious whisper’ gets the best of me, but this song definitely helps and is a good reminder.”

Produced by Wilson Harwood of Elevated Music Studio, “Good Enough” serves as a bright pre-cursor to Mustard’s forthcoming EP, Dirty Minds & Wild Hearts, a six-song collection which details her journey of dating with a chronic illness throughout her chaotic twenties.

”This song was a party to make! We started with upbeat piano chords, and layered in groovy organ and bouncy guitar, reminiscent of a jam band,” Mustard recalls. “Then, the amazing Amelia Ransom came in and added a fiddle solo that sashays all over the final chorus, putting the joy of true self-acceptance into a sound that matches perfectly with the lyrics. It’s honestly one of my favorite moments on the EP, and I’m so glad a song which celebrates ourselves being enough as we are ends in such an enthusiastic way!”
