(December 17, 2021) - "Go inside yourself and listen to the vibe of music and imagine everything is alright," Guitarist Gregory Goodloe said about the meaning of his new single "In Paradise" (Hip Jazz Records), which debuted as the most added single on Billboard and Groove Jazz Music Charts. "It came mostly by the pandemic...writing a song takes you out the mindset of what's going on. It's what musicians do...ease the pain."

Goodloe is a Jazz, R&B and Gospel guitarist who has played for or opened for such iconic artists as Dave Koz, Norman Brown, Howard Hewett, Shirley Caesar, John P. Kee, Michael McDonald, Ben Tankard and Tank. Gregory Goodloe also served as music director for the group Surface and Jazz/Soul singer Aysha.

"In Paradise" was produced by Jeff Canady and features Canady on drums; Demetrius Nabors on keyboard; Robert Skinner on bass, and Anthony Booker on rhythm guitar. "In Paradise" is his third single released this year following "Step N Out" and "Somewhere Out There," which will be featured on his next, yet to be titled, album. Two years ago his "Stylin'" single, written and produced by Grammy nominated Darren Rahn, reached #1 on Billboard.

"The producer and I kind-of wanted to go a different angle instead of the cookie-cut Smooth Jazz," he added.
