Craig Greenberg’s latest single “Some Peace of Mind” arrives as a burst of sunlit, horn-driven piano soul; a tune that trades some of the intimate singer-songwriter introspection of his earlier records for full-bodied NYC soul. The song premiered in late October 2025 and will open his forthcoming full-length album due in early 2026.
At its heart, the track is a blues-inflected piano rocker that leans heavily into classic R&B tropes. The arrangement foregrounds the piano and a sassy horn section, giving the song a rowdy, celebratory swing. It’s a welcome change from the reflective tone of many of Greenberg’s previous ballads and chamber-pop moments.
Lyrically the song reads as a letter of gratitude for finding a sense of inner peace. It’s a testament to Craig’s resilience set to a dance beat. That balancing of reflective lyricism with upbeat instrumental optimism is what makes the song special: it’s soulful storytelling with a toe-tapping arrangement.
The song’s arrangement is tight, with tasteful additions of trumpet and sax beyond the backbone of bass, piano and percussion. Craig’s vocals shine, but don’t dominate the mix, letting the rhythm section set the atmosphere. The production is warm and live-feeling to compliment the overall vibe, but never goes far enough to sound overproduced.
Some Peace of Mind is a successful stretch for Craig Greenberg, as it’s his most unabashedly horn-forward, danceable single to date. However, it’s still grounded in the piano-based songwriting that defines him, and fans who appreciate his craft as a piano poet will find plenty to love.
