Mndsgn - Hope You're Doin' Better

Mndsgn - "Hope You’re Doin’ Better," a 2021 single on Stones Throw Records.

On his latest LP Rare Pleasure, L.A.-based producer Mndsgn (real name: Ringgo Ancheta) finds influence in the soundtracks of the '70s and '80s, stating the repetitions "echo the recurring motifs we experience in life, sometimes being revisited by the same lessons in different shapes and forms."

With today's Song of the Day, in particular, he channels an emotional experience into a laid-back summery groove. In a press statement, he shares:

“During the holidays in 2018, my father had a complete mental breakdown. It was during a family party which made it all the more dramatic and equally traumatic for everyone that was there. I stayed in LA that year so I received the news remotely.

It was heartbreaking to say the least. In the following months, he plunged into a deep downward spiral that involved him quitting his job, isolating himself from family, including myself & giving us an alarming concern that he could potentially end his life if he continued down the path he was on.

It was a desperate cry for help.”

He adds, "Although communication between each other was severed, it allowed the opportunity to truly acquaint myself with the concept of loving from afar... a song I think many can relate to when we feel communication is still sought after even when we feel it isn’t available.”
