Louise Goffin exemplifies the enduring legacy of legendary coming from the Goffin lineage, which is renowned for its capacity to express profound emotion with simplicity at the core of this new single, “Right Now.” A heartfelt anthemic reflection on creativity characterizes it and resonates with the urgency of living in the moment.

The melody skillfully sways between nostalgia and immediacy, drawing the audience into a refreshing ode to seizing the moment while nudging them to hold onto the present.
“Right Now” solidifies Goffin’s evolution as an artist, demonstrating that her sound transcends transient trends while staying fresh and meaningful. The single creates a thoughtful space that emanates clarity and serves as a gentle reminder of what holds the utmost significance: the present.
