S.G. Goodman Releases Sophomore Album, ‘Teeth Marks’
The singer-songwriter also shared a video for sister songs ‘If You Were Someone I Loved’ and ‘You Were Someone I Loved.’
Kentucky-based singer-songwriter S.G. Goodman has released her sophomore album Teeth Marks via Verve Forecast. With the record’s release also comes the music video for sister songs “If You Were Someone I Loved” and “You Were Someone I Loved,” directed by Meredith Truax.
According to a press release, the pair of songs explore “the lack of human empathy surrounding the opioid crisis from two points of view: an average on-looker who might not care, and the mother of a forgotten victim of the crisis.”
In an interview with Stereogum, Goodman elaborated further on the making of the two-parter. “Because it’s such a heavy subject, I was very timid in feeling I hadn’t said everything that would do the subject justice. I still can’t say whether that’s the case or not,” she said. “That’s why I ended it with, once again, a musical or vocal style that leans towards my roots. But also, I ended the story with the subject of a family member who loved this person, because I felt they should have the final say about that person’s life and worth. In the digital version it’ll look like two tracks, but on the vinyl, it’ll be one, which is how I intended it.”
In support of Teeth Marks, Goodman is soon embarking on her headlining tour, with stops in major cities like Nashville, New York City, Los Angeles, London, Chicago, and more. It kicks off on June 4.
