Just Feels Good

Just Feels Good

Keifer and Shawna Thompson dig into the finer points of modern romance on Thompson Square's sophomore release, showing an eye for lyrical detail and an ear for closely matched harmonies. Just Feels Good combines well-tailored songwriting with a fresh mix of country, rock, and pop sounds. The Thompsons draw on their experiences as a married couple to lend tracks like “That’s So Me and You” and “Here’s to Being Here” the feel of a heart-to-heart dialogue. Trading lead vocals and interweaving voices, they veer from the playfully sexy patter of “Everything I Shouldn’t Be Thinking About” to the passionate gratitude of “If I Didn’t Have You” and the lovelorn balladry of “I Can’t Outrun You.” A diverse production approach keeps things sonically interesting, with “Testing the Water” (a country/rap fusion with a deliciously slippery groove) and the title tune (a Jamaican-inflected shuffle tune with a positive vibe) standing out for their willingness to stretch Nashville conventions. “Home Is You” is a celebration of togetherness that sums up the album’s love-affirming tone.
