Singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Keith Heart strike an intricate balance between joyous and foreboding on eerie dance-pop production “Serial Heartbreaker.”
Featuring a smooth fusion of twinkling synths and heavy bass carried by his hazy vocals, the track encapsulates a contradictory atmosphere that appears carefree yet sinister.
Lyrically, the catchy number paints a picture of seemingly innocent club scene with a subtly disconcerting tale of people seem to have lost all sense of themselves, indulging in acts they’ve never tried before. The dark lyrical narrative of being taken advantage of and being controlled by someone is hidden expertly beneath an infectious soundscape.
Speaking of the track, Keith said: “I want the audience to enjoy the track but also feel uncomfortable when listening to the lyrics; having the same feelings as the people I’m describing in the song itself. Something is unnatural about the scenario I’m painting, and that’s reflected in the production being very bare-bones without any traditional style dance production.”
Framed by genre-spanning instrumentation that’s eccentric yet emotive Brady Keith Gearheart under the moniker of Keith Heart continues to polish his ability to craft nuanced, story-driven sonic worlds.
