North Carolina-born recording artist Brenden Powers steps into a new chapter of his musical journey with the release of his latest project, “GOOD,” available now on all streaming platforms. Hailing from Greensboro, Powers brings a refreshing sense of authenticity and self-reflection to the project, using his roots as both inspiration and foundation. While he jokingly describes his hometown as “boring,” it’s clear that returning home played a major role in shaping the sound and direction of this album, allowing him to tap into a more grounded and creative space.
The inspiration behind “GOOD” stems from a transformative period during the summer of 2024, when Powers spent May and June back in Greensboro. Working out of a home studio, he began experimenting with new sounds, ultimately creating the track “LOBOS,” which set the tone for the entire project. By blending elements of New Jersey bounce with a slowed-down twist, he crafted a unique sonic vibe that carried throughout the album. What makes this release even more personal is that Powers handled everything himself, writing, producing, recording, and engineering, staying true to his independent artistry and hands on approach.
With over 15 years of experience in music, Brenden Powers has evolved from a rapper into a versatile singer, embracing his ability to adapt and grow creatively. “GOOD” represents more than just a collection of songs, it reflects a mindset. Fueled by the idea of releasing negative energy and attracting positivity, the album embodies a deliberate shift toward better energy and self awareness. Lines like “CAROLINA N*GGA WITH THAT ICE OK MEEEE!” showcase his confidence and personality, adding moments of boldness to an otherwise introspective body of work.
Looking ahead, Powers is keeping his options open while continuing to build on the momentum of “GOOD.” He expressed interest in collaborating more with women artists, rappers, singers, and producers alike, recognizing their influence and understanding of what resonates with listeners. While he already has unreleased collaborations in the vault, his primary focus has been bringing this album to life. Fans can stay connected and keep up with future releases and updates by following him on all platforms under the handle BrendenPowers, as he continues to evolve both musically and personally.
