Almost three years after the release of his third album °1, Champion returns in full force with Life is Good, the first single off his new album Best Seller to be released this spring via Bonsound. The song is available via Bandcamp and all the other digital platforms.
Life is Good, a hymn to life and love, reminds us of Champion during his early years. The upbeat music is textured and catchy, and is elevated by the sultry blues voice of singer Lou Laurence, who also co-wrote the lyrics.
A chance discovery online, this singer-songwriter’s music combines many things, including folk, blues and jazz. I was charmed by Lou’s voice the second I heard it, Champion says. I instantly loved its warmth and soul.
This first single is one of three other songs initially composed for his second album Resistance, released in 2009. With this new album, Champion will reconnect with his early musical tastes. Listen and share Life is Good via YouTube.
