Irish singer-songwriter Isaac Butler has released his highly anticipated new single ‘Good Enough’. ‘Good Enough’ marks the start of a new musical journey for Isaac Butler as he embarks on what promises to be a very exciting 2023 – with the first quarter of the year seeing him set to headline Whelan’s main room with a full band on Friday, 31 March. Isaac Butler is no stranger to the stage or the airwaves amassing over 2.5 million Spotify streams and selling out shows in The Grand Social, The Soundhouse and Whelan’s while also playing festivals across the country including Electric Picnic. Two of Isaac Butler’s previous singles have also been chosen for as the ‘Select Irish’ Single of the Month across the Wireless Group.

Within ‘Good Enough’ Butler fleshes out his earnest songwriting over an intense backdrop of driving instrumentation and powerful melodic surges. The song boasts warm guitar refrains, driving beats and ethereal soundscapes that lift the track into an anthemic sing-along chorus. Butler’s soulful vocals create an emotive yet, warm atmosphere that carries the story along as he questions himself after a breakup, “maybe I did something wrong… maybe I just was not good enough”. Filled with lamenting keys, a hair-raising crescendo and an irresistible melody that will revolve in your head for days, ‘Good Enough’ is a compelling new single. 

Speaking of the single Isaac Butler said: “Good Enough is the result of some post-relationship self-doubt. I think it’s only human nature to question yourself pretty intensely after something doesn’t work out. I love this one because there is what feels like a good balance of nostalgia and anger in there. The verses have a softness that describe those happy memories while the choruses are pretty gritty”
