Laid-back, sexy groove blending vintage soul textures with modern jazz and cinematic production. Warm, feel-good, and deeply pocketed, "Good News" is a vibe-setter built on instinct, groove, and letting things unfold naturally.
Behind the track is New York-based artist Nick Marks, a composer and producer whose sound fuses lush jazz harmonies, expansive arrangements, Latin flavors, and hard-hitting beats, resulting in what he calls “cinematic jazz electronica.”
Originally from Melbourne, Marks grew up surrounded by a mix of jazz, neo-soul, R&B, funk, Latin, and hip-hop, and you can really hear that blend come through. He’s a conservatory-trained jazz and classical pianist, with a deep passion for film scores and synthesisers. Since moving to New York in 2016, he’s built a strong reputation as a composer, producer, musical director, and film composer across various projects.
Marks' ethos is to provide listeners with a soundtrack to their day that helps them feel energised and at ease, facilitating deep emotional connections to everyday life moments. I can already confirm that "Good News" has ensured the positive start of my day, so if you need a little extra sunshine in your life, add this track to your sunny & groovy beats rotation.
And some more good news to wrap this up, this track is part of an upcoming compilation from Bastard Jazz called Ecology Division. Stay tuned for more!
