My songs often dwell on the possible dark futures, but today’s world also offers abundant reasons for hope.  Medical innovation is saving lives, renewable energy is reshaping economies, endangered species are recovering, and ordinary people continue to show extraordinary kindness.  These developments remind us that progress and empathy are not only possible but already happening—offering a real counterpoint to despair and a foundation on which a more hopeful future can grow.

“Good News” is a chilled and positive upbeat jazz/r’n’b celebration of human progress and everyday kindness, turning real-world advances into a musical sunrise of hope.  Images of solar fields, children laughing by restored rivers, and tigers roaming recovering forests highlight tangible environmental and social achievements, while the chorus—“hope is on the move, the world keeps proving what people can do”—underscores the power of collective action and small acts of love.  The message of the song is that despite the world’s troubles, compassion, innovation and resilience are steadily creating a better future.


Good News: A Snapshot of Positive Change Around the World
1. Health & Medicine
Eradication Progress – 
Global health campaigns continue to shrink the reach of deadly diseases. Polio is now endemic in only two countries, and cases of Guinea worm disease have dropped from millions in the 1980s to fewer than a few dozen today.

Medical Breakthroughs – 
Advances in mRNA technology (first showcased in COVID-19 vaccines) are now being applied to experimental vaccines for malaria, HIV and certain cancers, promising dramatic improvements in global health in the coming decade.

2. Climate & Environment
Rapid Growth of Renewable Energy – 
Solar and wind power have become the cheapest sources of electricity in most regions. 2024 saw record global installations of clean energy, with many countries already surpassing targets once set for 2030.

Rewilding & Species Recovery – Conservation projects are bringing species back from the brink: wild tiger numbers are rising in India and Nepal, European bison herds are expanding across the continent, and whales are slowly recovering in several oceans.

Youth-led Action – 
Grassroots movements are driving local governments and cities to adopt ambitious climate adaptation plans, turning awareness into tangible policies.

3. Technology & Innovation
Clean-Tech Acceleration – 
Breakthroughs in battery storage and green hydrogen are making carbon-free transport and industry increasingly viable.

Accessible Knowledge – 
Digital tools and open-source education platforms now allow millions to gain skills and degrees regardless of geography or income, widening opportunities and lifting communities.

4. Society & Human Rights
Global Poverty Decline – 
Though challenges remain, the share of people living in extreme poverty has fallen dramatically over the past three decades, and targeted microfinance and education programs continue to reduce inequality in many regions.

Advances in Gender Equality – 
More girls are completing secondary school worldwide than at any point in history, and women’s participation in politics and business leadership is steadily rising.

Grassroots Peace Efforts – 
Local mediation projects from Colombia to Kenya show how communities can defuse conflict and build lasting peace from the ground up.

5. Acts of Everyday Kindness
Beyond statistics, countless stories of human generosity surface each day: neighbors organizing food drives after disasters, volunteers tutoring children in underserved areas, and individuals quietly caring for the elderly or marginalized.  These unsung acts knit societies together and prove that compassion remains a powerful force.

GOOD NEWS

The track that bridges four decades of funk and hip-hop. Global superstar Cardi B injects her latest hit, “Better Than You,” with deep soul by sampling Sassafras’s “Listen Dear” from their classic 1978 album. Featuring the genius of the Ingram family (Philly Soul royalty), this is where the vintage groove meets modern fire—a perfect marriage of timeless texture and unstoppable energy.

Across the talking corn she goes,
And smooth she rustles far and wide,
Through all the voiceful countryside."

My Horizon by Keri Johnson

I went under the surface
I didn't mean to desert us, oh its true- I need you

Parts I needed to Mother
going deep to recover them, its true- find my truth

Baby, you are the sun rising
Light my way back to you

Baby, you are the horizon
Finding my way back to you

Diving under the silence
hoping somewhere to find us in the blue- in the blue

Hold our breath together
baby let's make it better than we ever knew- ever knew

Baby, you are the sun rising
Light my way back to you

Baby, you are the horizon
Finding my way back to you

Walking My Way

Single soon to be out on Bandcamp.

Take a trip through time and space with scenic stops along the way.  The tour includes a flight through scores of waves and particles.  Get entangled at the Enormous Fabric Manufacturing Facility. Enjoy clean hotels (relatively speaking)  with dual closets, and of course be ready for random wildlife sightings,  from a distance.
