“No Good at Goodbyes” is the latest from Brooklyn-based artist Harrison Lipton. The track establishes an engaging feel via dreamy guitar tones, a bouncy bass line, and synth-laden adornments, with the suave vocals emerging just past the 30-second mark. The “I’m no good at goodbyes,” hook plays convincingly, with the sound of telephone ringing fitting in well. Citing influences such as Hall & Oates, Men I Trust, and Sade, Lipton shows a firm grasp of his suave, melodic stylistic arsenal here. I’m looking forward to more material later this year.
