This dramatization allows for a narrative arc to Rosen\u2019s songwriting; when we met Mima Good on the <em>Good Girl<\/em> EP, she was emerging from the ashes of an abusive relationship. Rosen says that letting go of that baggage \u201cclear[ed] space for me to face more universal demons\u201d &#8211; no longer is she getting over one boy, one toxic relationship. Now she\u2019s taking on the entire system that subjugates women as less than, but with a higher BPM and a greater sense of apocalyptic doom: \u201cmore Trinity from The Matrix than Powerpuff Girl,\u201d she describes.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/4uh8wKBzJayZ4jNco6V58y\" width=\"300\" height=\"380\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>She wrote \u201cSad Club Night\u201d last year after a night out that felt particularly apocalyptic. \u201cI felt like we were all dancing waiting for the world to end,\u201d she remembers. Layered under wobble bass, Rosen\u2019s vocals sound almost playful as she recounts a late night dancing with friends, \u201cbeautiful people covered in black garments and red eyeliner that made them look kind of ill.\u201d The visceral imagery led her to consider the aestheticization of depression, how we\u2019re living in a society so devastating that we perform our despair almost as a trend. This becomes all the more relevant as we collectively face the present circumstances, how we no longer even have the release of a night out with loved ones.<\/p>\n<p>The new album itself is named for an ancient monster, a \u201c10-song quest inspired by the story of Hercules versus Hydra.\u201d In the myth, Hercules tries to defeat Hydra by chopping off its head, only to have two more grow in its place. Things grow more dire each day now it seems, as overwhelming as Hydra\u2019s many heads, but Rosen emphasizes the importance of taking it one day at a time. Though she\u2019s pausing preparations for the tour she had planned for the fall in light of current uncertainty, she\u2019s still writing music and practicing her craft. \u201cMy mental health struggles are not really unique to me, [but] in my album at least, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I wrote victory into the game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Mima Good on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/mimagoodwitch\/\">Facebook<\/a> for ongoing updates.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019ve been following Mima Good, the alter-ego of NYC-based anti-pop songwriter Raechel Rosen, from the start, covering her debut Good Girl EP and last year\u2019s one-off track \u201cHolly Golightly.\u201d She returns to the ever-evolving project with single \u201cSad Club Night,\u201d off her imminent full-length debut Hydra.
