JD HInton Unleashes Spirit of Rebellion in “Too Damn Good” Single

Renowned singer-songwriter JD Hinton greets the new year with the first single off his upcoming EP release this spring. Born out of Hinton’s time in Texas, the single “Too Damn Good” tells the story of a character unafraid of consequences. At the time, Hinton found inspiration in unlikely places, including a Starbucks in Austin, where he wrote lyric ideas over a tall, dark coffee.

The track, recorded at Los Angeles’ Eagle Rock studio, aims to capture the feeling of spinning out of control, blending grooves with chaotic production to mirror the song’s essence. Demonstrating Hinton’s unmistakable ability to craft a compelling narrative, we feel the character’s unapologetic tendency toward narcissism, doing whatever he wants…whenever he wants.

Hinton’s connection to the song runs deep, as it became the namesake for a TV pilot. After reading the pilot, Hinton wrote four theme songs that he thought were the perfect fit. The screenwriter liked “Too Damn Good” so much that he ended up naming the pilot after it.

Not just a talented musician, JD Hinton has an impressive background composing for Hollywood films, including works like Gloria, Tick-Tock, and Mark Medoff’s film Children on Their Birthdays. His song “I Have to Dream” was featured in the 1942 period film sung by the legendary Celine Dion.
