Drawing from themes of death, the present, satire, and spirituality, "Good Bye Lover, Good Bye Friend" marks the first single from Tropical Man Go, the latest project by Latin Grammy winner, VINILOVERSUS drummer, and visual artist Orlando “Mangan” Martínez. This debut single, released on all streaming platforms on April 3, 2020, is now being introduced as a digital asset on sound.xyz, inviting listeners to own a piece of this pivotal moment in Mangan's musical journey. Recorded in Los Angeles during the summer of 2019, "Good Bye Lover, Good Bye Friend" is a testament to Mangan's multifaceted artistry. The track delves into the inevitability of death and the universal experience of farewells, inspired by the passing of David Bowie. It skillfully blends visceral harmonies and percussive elements, showcasing Mangan's ability to channel inner turmoil into a serene soundscape. The song speaks to the departure from the physical plane, exploring themes of love, friendship, and the ultimate goodbye. The creation of this track was a collaborative effort, featuring contributions from Henry D’Arthenay of La Vida Boheme, adding his magical touch, Samantha Dagnino in backing vocals, and El Negro Álvarez on percussion. Produced by Rudy Pagliuca, mixed by Carlos Imperatori, and mastered by Marcel Fernández—all Latin Grammy winners—the song is a showcase of exceptional talent and shared artistic vision. "Good Bye Lover, Good Bye Friend" serves as the lead single from what will be the artist's first EP, 001. Tropical Man Go is described by Mangan as a low-tempo, acoustic project that blends English and Spanish in a style he dubs "Indie Coffee." This project merges the two worlds of his artistic upbringing, reflecting over a decade of Mangan's work in music, visual arts, and multimedia. It represents his artistic thesis, embodying the notion that art lacks substance without a guiding concept. As "Good Bye Lover, Good Bye Friend" transitions to a digital asset on sound.xyz, it not only offers a new way for fans to engage with and invest in Mangan's work but also sets a precedent for how artists can share their creations in the digital age. This release is more than just a song; it's an invitation to experience the depth of Mangan's artistic expression and a call to reflect on the profound themes that inspire it. Join Tropical Man Go on this journey and become part of the story that "Good Bye Lover, Good Bye Friend" tells—a narrative of endings that lead to new beginnings, encapsulated in a digital format that bridges the gap between music and artistry in the modern era.
