The Right Kind Of No

I wrote this song in 2019, from some lyrics I had jotted down here and there over the past couple years about this afore mentioned on again/off again relationship. I had originally thought it would be a tear-jerking ballad. But it finally jelled after I heard some dialogue from a network TV show and suddenly the hook “the right kind of no is better than the wrong kind of yes” hit me like a tidal wave, right after I witnessed a performance by soulful acoustic artist India.Arie on Good Morning America during Black History Month. I immediately picked up my guitar and started playing the funk riff in my head that turned it into an funky, soulful and edgy up-tempo female empowerment anthem. The horns and arrangement are a nod to great the great R&B soul bands I grew up loving like Tower Of Power and Earth Wing & Fire. The song features lead tenor sax player for Tower Of Power, Tom E. Politzer.
