The second smashing Inner City hit "Good Life" came out in 1988, just after "Big Fun"'s acclaimance. Kevin Saunderson and Paris Grey got together again for their unique soulful Techno song style.
Though Inner City's lirics were about common themes (on "Big Fun" and "Good Life" as well), the way Paris Grey would sing and the keyboard arrangements by Kevin Saunderson would make the whole difference: "Good Life" brought (even) more Soul to the sophisticated science fiction dance music of Inner City, and it would stand forever as a standard for the Techno genre born in Detroit, honoring its Futuristic Electronic and African American 'Jazz-Soul-Funk' influences.
Inner City's Soul enhancement on "Good Life", carefully planned through Kevin Saunderson's warm synth chords and Paris Grey's deeper vocals, empowered the tune's base of outstanding beats and sophisticated bass lines.
"Good Life" would represent Inner City's international consolidation and Paris Grey was finally free to quit her sales assistant job on a store in Chicago to fully dedicate herself on her music career.
