Hear Me Out - HeartMouth (Pop) How refreshing it is to get a Top 40 style ballad—an artform that seems to be a dying one these days. HeartMouth’s newest track accomplishes quite the hat trick. The lyrics and vocals are longing in nature, a bittersweet plea to a love walking out the door, none of which is lost in the hyper-modern vocal production of heavy compression, tuning and layering. The result is a track that is pure earcandy without squeezing out all of the inflections that convey intimacy and emotion. The mix is incredible, and we specifically loved when the strings swooped in. The instrumental is quite understated, letting HeartMouth’s vocals take center stage. We think this one is karaoke certified.
Best Lyric: “I’m going to cause a scene again because I don’t know how to fake it.”
