Moody Joody’s new track, Ground Control, is a standout release, combining introspective lyrics with an infectious alt-pop sound. Reminiscent of artists like Gracie Abrams and Faye Webster, the song navigates the familiar struggle of burnout and monotony, all while offering a message of hope and resilience.
Produced by Andrew Pacheco and co-written with Scott Harris (Shawn Mendes, Dua Lipa), Ground Control balances somber themes with an undeniably catchy melody. Vocalists Kayla Hall and Kaitie Forbes explore feelings of being stuck in life’s routines, but the song’s upbeat energy keeps it from feeling heavy. As Forbes aptly describes it, it’s a "rock bottom banger"—a track that finds optimism in tough times.
The accompanying music video, directed by Gavin Hurlburt, reinforces the song’s themes by depicting the repetitive grind of everyday life and the longing for something more. It’s a simple, yet effective visual that enhances the track’s message without overwhelming it.
As Moody Joody continues to build their presence, Ground Control feels like a significant step forward. It’s the kind of song that sticks with you, offering both catharsis and motivation to keep pushing forward. With a hometown show in Nashville on November 8 and select dates on tour with MisterWives, this release proves Moody Joody is a band to watch.
