Choker New Single “Good” Review: Heaven Ain’t Sold Album Breakdown

Choker is Finally Back, and “Good” Was Worth the Seven-Year Itch

Let’s be honest: being a Choker fan has required some serious patience. Ever since he went quiet after 2019, his listeners have been living on a diet of Honeybloom loops and “where is he?” Reddit threads.

But with the release of his new LP, Heaven Ain’t Sold, the Detroit enigma has officially ended his hiatus. While the whole album is a journey, “Good” is the track that reminds us exactly why we fell in love with Christopher Lloyd’s brain in the first place.

The Sound of Growth

If you were expecting Honeybloom 2.0, “Good” might catch you off guard—and that’s a great thing. It’s got that signature Choker DNA—the layered harmonies and the “wait, did I just hear that?” production glitches—but it feels punchier.

There’s a certain grit here that we haven’t heard before. It’s less “bedroom indie” and more “late-night drive through the city.” He’s traded some of the abstract poetry for a more direct, raw delivery that hits way harder.

Why It’s the Standout

  • The Pocket: Choker’s flow on this track is ridiculous. He moves between a rhythmic rap delivery and that effortless falsetto without missing a beat.

  • The Production: It’s dense. There are trap-inspired low-ends mixed with these beautiful, ambient synth washes that feel like they’re breathing.

  • The Vibe: It captures that specific feeling of coming out the other side of a long period of self-reflection. It’s confident, a little bit defiant, and—well—good.

“I wanted to stop dressing up how I felt,” Choker mentioned in a recent AMA. That honesty is all over this track. It feels like he’s finally stopped hiding behind the metaphors.

What to Add to Your Rotation

If you’re just diving into Heaven Ain’t Sold, “Good” is the perfect entry point. But don’t sleep on the rest of the record:

  • “Proof” for when you want to feel like you’re floating.

  • “Uneven” for those existential late-night moods.

  • “Angel Station” for a cinematic ending to the album.

The Verdict

The Seven-year wait was a gamble, but “Good” proves Choker isn’t just a flash in the pan from the late 2010s. He’s an artist who actually takes the time to evolve. If this is the new era of Christopher Lloyd, we’re all in.
