While they worked on the majority of Good Things during last year’s quarantine, Dan shares that the very beginning of this project started when they finished their last album in 2018. “We’re so excited about our new album Good Things, we feel like this is the best body of work we’ve ever put out. We dug really really deep on the songs and we’ve been writing ever since we turned in our last album 3 years ago.”
With their signature sound and time to work on all kinds of musical themes, Dan thinks there’s a track on Good Things that will connect with each one of their fans, and then he can’t wait to bring these songs to the fans on their Arena Tour next month. “There’s something for everybody on this album. There’s happy songs, there’s sad songs, and everything in between. It’s been quite a while since we’ve been on the road, so we can’t wait to get out and play the Good Things album front to back on our arena tour. We’re so proud of every single one of these songs, we poured our hearts and souls into them and hopefully you love them as much as we do.”
Whether it’s through their albums, the concerts, or social media, Dan + Shay say they want to connect with their fans in a meaningful way…and the key to that is just being real, “I think what people connect to the most is authenticity, and we try to be authentic in our music and in our personal lives. When someone follows us on social media, we’re not putting on a front, what you see is what you get and for better or worse sometimes. I think it’s allowed us to keep a core fanbase of loyal fans as well. I’m grateful to be a part of the country music community, like you said where we think the fans are more loyal than any other format of music.”
After what they and their fans went through during 2020, and the early part of 2021 Dan + Shay share that the title to their new album carries a message of hope, “It only felt appropriate to name the album Good Things because after the last year and a half that we’ve all had, I think we could all use some Good Things.”
Good Things is available for fans right now — just as Dan + Shay’s song “Glad You Exist” is knocking on the door to the number-one spot on country radio.
