Former Girls singer/guitarist Christopher Owens is back with his first new music in seven years. Set against a shimmering mix of acoustic and electric guitars, “I Think About Heaven” is sunny and optimistic, with Owens singing “I think about heaven and I smile / Things don’t seem so bad.” He was born and raised into a devout Christian family and that has colored his songwriting from the beginning but is front and center here. It’s a very immediately likable song, all six minutes of it, and you can listen below.
