Remi Goode’s “Might Not Be True” Embraces Contradiction

Alt-folk artist Remi Goode (pronounced “RAY-mee”) builds her songs around the concept that clarity doesn’t always require resolution. That idea comes into sharp focus on “Might Not Be True,” a pensive new single and early glimpse of her upcoming debut album Things I’ve Said Before, due September 26.

Originally from Tucson and now based in Nashville, Goode brings a unique duality to her music. She’s a classically trained nylon-string guitarist with a background in choral performance, but her sound leans just as comfortably into lo-fi intimacy while flirting with the line between folk and indie music.

“Might Not Be True” leans into dreamlike textures and reflective lyrics. “I make an effort to get to the truth about a dynamic or situation with a person in my life,” she explains. “Rather than choosing a side or coming to a singular conclusion, the lyrics tend to lean into contradiction and ambivalence.” The result is a track that feels emotionally grounded even as it leaves space for open-ended questions.

The album itself promises to document Goode’s earliest steps in defining herself as a songwriter—marked by what she describes as both a strong sense of identity and a healthy dose of self-doubt. She wrote much of the material by ear, despite her formal training, a process that helped the music flow with natural ease. Longtime creative and romantic partner Gabe Lehrer co-produced the album and contributed throughout, shaping the sound alongside Goode in both informal and studio settings.

Influenced by artists like Suzanne Vega, Kathleen Edwards, and Sarah Harmer, Goode shares a similar impulse to push folk traditions forward—blending acoustic foundations with new textures and emotional nuance. With “Might Not Be True,” she offers a strong introduction: a quietly ambitious track that sets the tone for what’s to come.
