Alicia Keys, Good Job | Thankful Songs 🙏🎶

For the 8th Thankful Song 🙏🎶, we highlight “Good Job,” where R&B artist Alicia Keys is thankful to all for helping to combat COVID-19.

“You’re the engine that makes all things go / And you’re always in disguise, my hero / I see your light in the dark / Smile in my face when we all know it’s hard.” Say that, 🎙 Alicia Keys, SAY THAT! Before we dig into this uplifting standout, let me remind you the premise of Thankful Songs 🙏🎶! On Thankful Songs 🙏🎶, we highlight songs in which the musician (or musicians) show gratitude about something or towards someone.  This idea came from the fact that in November, here in the United States of America, many Americans celebrate Thanksgiving.  So, what better way than to celebrate than select some awesome songs that exhibit gratitude? Our eighth entry comes from Blacc with 🎵 “Good Job”, from her long awaited 2020 album, 💿 Alicia.

There are lots of things to like about “Good Job,” the fourth single from Alicia. First and foremost, it is incredibly thoughtful, giving thanks to everyone affected and helping to combat the devastating COVID-19 pandemic.  Alicia Keys is being encouraging and uplifting, providing that positive reinforcement that educators seek to give their students.  “Good job, you’re doin’ a good job, a good job,” she sings on the chorus, continuing, “Don’t get too down / The world needs you now / Know that you matter, matter, yeah.”  Essentially, lyrically, she says all of the right things.  Also, as she sings, she infuses her soul into it, given it that next level of authenticity.  While the production eschews a bunch of bells and whistles, it suits the tone of this record.
