Roots rock and reggae has a champion in Mike Love’s latest single “HeartBeat” which features an authentic reggae rhythm layered with hints of blues and soul. The tune opens with quiet affirmations by Love in a hushed voice “How much do I owe you? You gave me your heartbeat” before opening vocally over the mellow minor key based groove. The lyrics are intimate and positive, something that Love does remarkably well without any irony or cynicism. The song features a great acoustic guitar solo too that showcases Love’s fierce playing. The chorus proclaims “You are my heartbeat” as the vocal harmonies swell and the hand drums pulse out an onomatopoeia like human feeling. As Mike’s fans already know, you too will be feeling this one in your soul. Definitely check it out now on Spotify or watch the official music video on Youtube featuring his recording process in spectacular fashion!
