The genesis of “Dracula” came about serendipitously. Blinky Bill stumbled upon the song while working in the studio with his collaborator, Dillie. The track’s sample hook resonated deeply with him, evoking a sense of frustration and a need to address the world’s current state. In his own words, Blinky Bill shares, “It felt like a song that made me want to open up and talk about my frustration, which I think is indicative of other people’s frustrations on the state of the world right now. There’s a lot of feelgood music when many people aren’t feeling good. Reminded me of how Bob Marley used to talk about so many things going on around the world, happy and sad.”
“Dracula” is destined to leave a lasting impact with its dynamic sound and meaningful lyrics. The single is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://orcd.co/dracula_blinkybill.

“Moonlight Shoreside” isn’t just a song; it’s a vibe. Picture this: you’re strolling along the shore on a balmy summer night, the moon casting its silvery glow over the sand.

But it’s not just the music that’s got us hooked; it’s the story behind the song that really pulls at the heartstrings. “Moonlight Shoreside” is a tale of longing and uncertainty, set against the backdrop of a moonlit rendezvous by the water. As the lyrics unfold, we’re drawn into a world of whispered secrets and stolen moments, where the line between friendship and something more becomes increasingly blurred.
In the chorus, vocalist Connor Getz lays it all on the line, his voice dripping with emotion as he sings, “Now the others are all gone. Why continue to lead me on?” It’s a gut-wrenching plea for clarity in the midst of confusion, and it hits you right in the feels.

There’s a playful energy running through the track that’s impossible to resist, like a game of cat and mouse between two star-crossed lovers. It’s the kind of song that makes you want to grab your crush by the hand and dance the night away under the moonlight.
Ultimately, “Moonlight Shoreside” is a certified bop that’s guaranteed to get you in your feelings and on your feet at the same time. The Good Neighbors have knocked it out of the park once again with this one, delivering a track that’s equal parts sexy, soulful, and downright addictive.
