Bnny Announce New Album "One Million Love Songs", Share "Good Stuff"
Bnny — the Chicago-based project of Jessica Viscius — is back with her new album, One Million Love Songs, out April 5th via Fire Talk, and shares its lead single & video, “Good Stuff.” The follow-up to Bnny’s “spare and grieving” (New York Times) 2021 debut album Everything, One Million Love Songs sees Viscius take a brighter turn, showing her immense growth as an arranger and artist. Produced by Viscius and recorded at Drop of Sun Studios in Asheville with Alex Farrar (Wednesday, Indigo De Souza), One Million Love Songs is a non-linear sketch of a relationship’s genesis to its dizzying end, as catchy as it is hopeful. Viscius sounds more assured than ever — committed to herself, her mistakes, & her big love.
“Good Stuff” is both a memory of heartbreak and a mantra for that still to come. Beginning with siren-like synths and Jess Viscius’ distinct vocals, “Good Stuff” quickly shapeshifts into one of the most upbeat songs in Bnny’s discography. “I’m hanging on to the good stuff,” she sings atop bright guitars and propulsive percussion. “I’m hanging on to my big love.” It's a beautiful, uplifting continuation of Bnny's romantic sound. Viscius wrote “Good Stuff” on a Casio keyboard, and was her first song written on a keyboard, giving it a different sound and texture compared to other Bnny songs. “It’s a breakup song,” says Viscius, “but it’s hopeful, optimistic even. Or perhaps it’s just the denial, hoping things will be different next time, hoping that love can save you.”
