Single Review: Heistheartist – “God Is On My Mind”

So divine and silky fine, Heistheartist slows things down on the graciousness of “God Is On My Mind”. Elegant chords radiate off into the distance. Pace gets brought back to a glimmering, gorgeous realm. The arrangement keeps things pared back to the essentials. Grooves are constructed in a way reminiscent of James Blake’s futuristic R&B. Here though things have that right level of smoothness to it, with the bass rolling through in this serene way. Melodies glow over the rest of the laid-back rhythm. Best of all are his vocals that feel ideally suited for the tender atmosphere that adorns the whole thing. Kept to the simplest of elements, this is greater that the sum of its parts, allowing for a magical property to frame the sound.

Right from the beginning he wastes no time at all in setting the mood. From there the few additional elements come on into the mix. Production quality matters and honestly the amount of attention paid to the low end is admirable. Everything about it seems stuck in a deliriously happy trance. Over the course of the journey the hushed awe that stems from each element reverberates out into the distance. By the time it all comes to a great conclusion the vividness comes into focus as it all neatly fades out in a truly classic fashion.

Kate Neckel rides on emotions in new single “Wave Break”

Kate Neckel’s “Wave Break” bursts in with an invigorating splash of raw honesty. The song was recorded in a single spontaneous take from her NYC home and is a living, breathing moment. Once again, it is evident that Neckel’s boundary-shattering artistry also crosses disciplines.

“Wave Break” vibrates with unfiltered energy that can’t be faked. Just as she casts her visual art instinctively and quickly, her songwriting process is impulsive and in the moment. The effect is a track that feels more like a brushstroke on the canvas of your life than a studio-cut single. The imperfections are fingerprints and evidence of a real human being behind each note and breath.

What sets “Wave Break” apart is how closely it gets to a sense of place and presence. You can hear the hum of city life, apartment acoustics, and the urgency of inspiration coursing in real-time. It’s also intimate, gritty, and fiercely alive. Neckel’s voice glides along the track like the tide, flowing with feeling and then receding into reserve, and at no point does it lose its truthfulness.

As performer and producer, Neckel stamps every layer of the track with her artistic DNA. Even the single’s artwork, done by her hand, contributes to this immersive effect. “Wave Break” invites you to feel, see, and exist inside a moment of pure creative expression. “Wave Break” is a testament to her evolution from a visual artist to a storyteller and the power of the unfiltered when it comes to the art that matters most.
