Single Review - How Good You Are - Reya Jayne



How Good You Are has a mellow opening carried by the guitar and drum beat,  fitting for a warm summer's day, gentle, not rushed and lends itself to the story,then giving way and softening to allow Reya to start her story.  

The story is about a love, a partner who is so good for her but perhaps doesn’t realise it.  Our storyteller sure knows it, as does her mother – and in a nice Country style so does Grandma!  Its sometimes the little things that count – being there to tow her car, bringing her luck.  It’s a love story told from the point of view of one partner feeling so lucky, and the other not realising how appreciated they are.


Reya has a very high-toned voice, which rises during the song, perhaps in an effort to express her strong feelings, backed by a strong drumbeat and some lovely guitar inserts both with and separate to the vocal.


There is a lovely, calming verse, toward the end of the track, introduced by some wonderful keys where it feels like a deep breath before a final declaration of “How Good You Are” to end – with those keys finishing the track after Reya’s final, gentle repetition of that title theme.

The whole song gently carries you through the story...

How Good You Are, the new single from Reya Jayne is available on all major platforms from 29 May
