It’s safe to say that the world is ready for a good day. YONAS’s latest single “Good Day” which released on Friday (Apr.24) couldn’t be more in line with the mood that listeners crave, as he openly expresses the beauty of duality over buoyant production and celebratory keys.
As he introduced the #GOODDAYCHALLENGE to social media, YONAS encourages fans and listeners worldwide to take to Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok & Twitter to describe, via video, what they’re doing to stay positive during the current pandemic. With the rapid spread of COVID-19, the world has experienced a surge of panic and concern; YONAS wants to introduce a little light into the mix by using content to express to fans that they are in control of their destiny and that they too can overcome the fear & anxiety that exists within our current climate.
With statements like,
“Despite what’s going on, I’m having a good day. How are you staying positive right now?”
he will introduce his own home videos to encourage listeners to turn these dark days into great ones. After all, positivity is good for the immune system right?
“I often think about music made during slavery. One major thing I learned is how beautifully simple the lyrics sounded on the surface, until you dove into the history, the stories, the references, the deeper meaning. It’s like artwork you can stare at for days because of the beauty on the surface, and then over time your eyes adjust and you begin to see the texture and layers that can only be seen by taking the time.”
This is where the #GOODDAYCHALLENGE comes in; by encouraging fans to turn the bad into good, he starts a conversation about the power of the mind and how the spread of positivity can leave an impact on the world. Instrumentally, “Good Day” takes listeners on a walk from the beginning to end.
Having collaborated with some of the top names in music and acquiring half a billion streams cross-platform, easily places YONAS at the top of the pack. “Good Day” follows his most recent release “OMG” as well as “Karate Kid”, receiving top praise from Forbes, Hollywood Life, Sirius XM and many more, inching him even closer to over 80M streams on Spotify alone. YONAS has had the distinction of sharing studios and stages with the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Logic, B.O.B, Macklemore, Schoolboy Q and more.
