Best Ex Sheds Labels On “Good Girl” From Forthcoming LP

Best Ex, aka Mariel Loveland, just launched the title track for her forthcoming album, Good Girl, due out on November 6, via Iodine Recordings. Preceded by “Is This It?” and “Sick Of Myself,” “Good Girl” uniquely explores the boxes most women and girls are pushed down into through summery pop sonics.
