Ken Goodwin, the creative force behind the independent music brand
Goodwin Made, is celebrating the growing success of his collaboration with vocalist
Jaime Arin following the release of their emotionally resonant single, '
Pick Yourself Up.' The track has connected deeply with listeners through its message of resilience and healing, showcasing the distinctive partnership between Goodwin's heartfelt lyricism and Arin's expressive vocal delivery.
Goodwin writes from a place of personal storytelling and universal emotion, crafting songs that explore strength, vulnerability, and perseverance. Arin brings those stories vividly to life, translating the emotional core of each lyric into performances that feel intimate and cinematic.
"Working with Jaime has been a remarkable creative experience," said Goodwin. "She has an incredible ability to step inside a song and deliver it in a way that feels honest and immediate. When she sings, the story becomes real."
Following the momentum of '
Pick Yourself Up,' the duo is preparing to release two highly anticipated singles. '
Missing My Baby' is a deeply sensitive and poignant song addressing suicide among children and the devastating emotional aftermath experienced by a mother left to cope with that loss. The song approaches the subject with care and compassion, aiming to foster empathy, awareness, and conversation around mental health. Their second upcoming release, '
You Won't Win the War,' is a powerful anthem centered on inner strength and perseverance. Together, these songs expand the emotional landscape of the Goodwin Made catalog and highlight the duo's evolving artistic chemistry.

Reflecting on her experience recording '
Pick Yourself Up,' Arin shared:
"Reading Goodwin's lyrics and listening to the stunning instrumentation instantly hit me in my gut. I immediately felt connected to the message and it made me think of my Papa. It was important for me to really let the lyrics take over my body and tell my story through Goodwin's words."
Describing their collaborative process working with the studio engineer, Arin added:
"Collaborating with Goodwin is such a joy. Similar themes pull at both of our heartstrings. We are telling stories to hopefully connect and give space for the listeners to feel their own stories as well."
The emotional depth of their upcoming releases continues that shared artistic mission. Speaking about '
Missing My Baby' and '
You Won't Win the War,' Arin explained:
"Telling the story and not shying away from deeply emotional themes has always been important in my work. Joining forces with Goodwin to hopefully provide some healing or a respite through music has been such a beautiful journey."
Ultimately, the collaboration aims to create music that serves listeners in meaningful ways. Arin expressed her hopes for the audience:
"I hope these songs provide peace, an emotional release, connection, a musical companion... whatever someone might need in that moment."
