{"product_id":"this-better-be-good","title":"This Better Be Good","description":"\u003cp\u003ePeter Donovan is an astute musical storyteller. His perceptive songs span genres and feature narratives based on both real-life and fictitious characters, written with a contemplative heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter finding success and a dedicated fanbase with Seattle's All The Real Girls and his side project The Rose Petals (alongside Elijah Ocean), Donovan returns in 2022 with his first proper solo album, \u003ci\u003eThis Better Be Good\u003c\/i\u003e. His previous releases spun expertly- crafted character sketches that earned plaudits from Paste Magazine, Consequence of Sound, American Songwriter, and more. With \u003ci\u003eThis Better Be Good\u003c\/i\u003e, Donovan spreads his wings, combining the plaintive soul of indie rock, the heartfelt sincerity of Americana, and the stirring studio pageantry of '70s singer-songwriters, drawing them together to explore more intimate depths. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis Better Be Good\u003c\/i\u003e is Donovan's most personal effort yet; a loose concept record about the ups and downs of an ultimately doomed romance between two people. The songs are more reflective than bitter; more nostalgic than sad. It's an album about learning and growing from lived experiences and reflecting on past failures in the interest of future successes. Donovan has managed to create an album that is sonically nostalgic and modern at once, both soul- stirring and dripping with heartache. It's a roadmap of his past seen through fresh eyes, and a triumphant first step in this new chapter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Red Parlor","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50476308726091,"sku":"1149927","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/cf8ae465-7d36-4ce4-821c-e998b17a34b7_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727457509","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/this-better-be-good","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
