HOZIER – JACKIE & WILSON
Grammy nominated artist Hozier has released his new single ‘Jackie & Wilson’. ‘Jackie & Wilson’ is the latest track off the Irish singer/songwriter’s deluxe edition of his self-titled album.
‘Jackie & Wilson’ is a rock-y track much different from Hozier’s number 1 sombre hit ‘Take Me To Church’. Hozier mixes grunge-sounding electric guitar with his rough sounding vocals to create a thumping rock track that everyone will love.
The end of the chorus “we’ll call our children Jackie & Wilson and raise them on rhythm and blues” perfectly sums up the song. It’s an easy listening love song with all of the makings of a classic rock song.
Hozier’s unmistakable vocals serenade throughout the track with the accompaniment of a choir giving the track a fuller sound in the chorus. ‘Jackie & Wilson’ is the perfect track to listen to on a lazy Sunday this summer and is sure to be another hit for the already globally successful artist.
‘Jackie & Wilson’ is available now!

CARRIE UNDERWOOD – HEARTBEAT
Country music’s sweetheart Carrie Underwood has released the second single from her new album, ‘Heartbeat’. ‘Heartbeat’ is off Carrie’s album ‘Storyteller’ that has earned her the award for Favourite Female Artist – Country at the American Music Awards this year.
‘Heartbeat’ is a romantic song that Underwood co-wrote with Zach Crowell and Ashley Gorley. Crowell also produced the track. It is a slow ballad song, much different from the first single off the album ‘Smoke Break’.
Lyrics like: “I want to feel like a kick-drum, beating faster in your chest” and “dancing to the rhythm of your heartbeat” is paired with Carrie’s powerhouse voice to create an emotional track that will speak to everyone.
The chorus is backed up by a male harmony that creates density and dynamic while the instrumental accompaniment is everything a great country ballad needs. Banjo, guitar, percussion, and chimes play throughout ‘Heartbeat’ to give it the authentic country feel that has made Carrie Underwood a household name.
‘Heartbeat’ is available now!
