Good Person


Good Person is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Ingrid Andress. It was released on August 26, 2022, via Warner Music Nashville. "Wishful Drinking", a duet with Sam Hunt, was released as the album's lead-off single in December 2021.

Background

Andress co-wrote and co-produced all 13 tracks on Good Person, with additional producing done by Sam Ellis, AJ Pruis, and Jordan Schmidt. She co-wrote several tracks with Ellis and Derrick Southerland who contributed heavily to Lady Like, and also wrote with notable songwriters such as Shane McAnally, Julia Michaels, and JP Saxe.
Although Andress initially stated that she would not include her single "Wishful Drinking" on Good Person, it was featured as a bonus track on the digital versions of the album.

Critical reception

AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine indicated that with Good Person, Andress "dedicat herself to flawlessly executing the blueprint she established on Lady Like". Tony Hicks of Riff called the album "a decent effort that doesn't really leave a lasting mark". Writing for Spectrum Culture, Justin Cober-Lake thought that Good Person "could have used more thoughtful construction as an album" but concluded that Andress is at the "phase of her career where she's simply laying a foundation".
