Cincinnati-based singer-songwriter Michael Marcagi has unveiled his latest single, “Good Enough,” a heartfelt and reflective track that highlights his raw emotional storytelling. Released via Warner Records, the new song was co-written with Wesley Schultz of The Lumineers and produced by David Baron. This single marks yet another step in Michael Marcagi’s growing career, following his recent success with “Tear It All Apart.”
“Good Enough” showcases Michael Marcagi’s ability to blend acoustic elements with a modern, anthemic sound. The track’s breezy acoustic guitar is paired with a propulsive beat, setting the stage for Michael Marcagi’s unfiltered lyrics to shine. As the song progresses, it culminates in a powerful, yet heartbreaking chant: “You said I wasn’t good…You said I wasn’t good enough.” The chorus not only strikes a chord with listeners but also speaks to Michael Marcagi’s theme of balancing self-belief with external expectations. Reflecting on the song, Michael Marcagi shared, “I had the honor of writing this song in upstate NY with Wesley Schultz of The Lumineers. It’s about the long and winding journey our musical paths have taken and the challenges of believing in yourself amidst the expectations of others.”
The release of “Good Enough” follows Michael Marcagi’s previous hit, “Tear It All Apart,” which earned critical acclaim and a spot on Spotify’s “New Music Friday” playlist. Publications like HITS have praised Michael Marcagi’s work, calling him “a true-blue storyteller,” while Flaunt Magazine lauded his ability to evoke relatable and inspiring emotions through his lyrics.
