After kickstarting the year with the irresistible ‘I Got Home’, which quickly garnered rave reviews from VIBE Magazine, SoulTracks, Wordplay Magazine, and IGGY Magazine, among others, award-winning French soul luminary BEN L’ONCLE SOUL has joined forces with Brooklyn-based funk and soul powerhouse ADI OASIS for the release of their electrifying new single ‘I’M GOOD’ out on February 14 via Enchanté/Believe. Taken from Ben’s upcoming album Sad Generation (arriving on March 21), the track delivers a sharp, ironic reflection on social media culture, ego-driven validation, and the illusion of success in the digital era. Infused with rich funk grooves, soulful melodies, and hypnotic rhythms, ‘I’m Good’ highlights the stark contrast between outward confidence and internal doubt, mirroring the constant battle between self-worth and online appearances.
Lyrically, Ben L’Oncle Soul and Adi Oasis examine the fleeting highs of likes, views, and digital approval, where competition and social comparison have become an inescapable battleground. The song’s repetitive, anthemic chorus captures this endless loop of validation-seeking, evoking the “catch me if you can” taunts of childhood playground chants – except now, the game is played out on screens, with real-world consequences. Adi’s silky yet introspective vocals provide the perfect counterpoint, questioning what it truly means to be “enough” in an age of performative success. Their dynamic interplay, over an intoxicating blend of early funk, classic soul, and deep groove, heightens the track’s tension, bridging themes of pride, insecurity, and the emotional weight of digital facades.
Ben L’Oncle Soul has spent over a decade carving his place as a global ambassador of French soul. With over 300 million streams, platinum-certified albums, and iconic performances at renowned festivals like Glastonbury and North Sea Jazz, he has captivated audiences worldwide. His breakout single ‘Soulman’ remains an international cult-classic, while his albums continue to top the charts across Europe. Known for blending soul, R&B, and nu-soul with an unmistakable French flair, Ben continues to evolve, with his new album Sad Generation poised to mark an exciting new chapter. As he gears up to release Sad Generation, Ben adds ‘I’m Good’ to the conversation – exuding explosive energy and moody introspection with its irresistible groove and socially charged message, it questions whether being “good” still holds any real meaning in a world obsessed with numbers.
