Talking about this track, Vicetone said: “This song is very special to us. The sound of the drop is inspired by the classic Vicetone sound of ‘Nevada’ and ‘Walk Thru Fire,’ but with a fresh mix of our newer sound as well. We’re so excited to share this with our fans and hope the melody and music resonate with people.”
Watch the lyric video to “The World Has A Heartbeat” by Vicetone here:
Written by Brooke Tomlinson, Henry Oliver Lundström, Ruben Christopher Den Boer, Victor Pool, and Will Everett, whilst it was produced by Vicetone, “The World Has A Heartbeat” is the duo’s signature summer sound implemented into a current mainstream vibe. The addictive melody flows into some of the freshest beats we’ve heard all year lifting the gorgeous vocals which effortlessly bring the summer sun. Matching the track with heartbeat-like sounds, switching them up, and wrapping them around the lyrical tone which spreads positivity to every listener and sends the belief that brighter days are coming for us all and that the ups and downs of life are just the heartbeat of the Earth. Vicetone doesn’t just stop at the sound and the lyrics, while all that may feel like mainstream summer 2023, the duo takes us back to their earlier hits with the awesome technotronic drop that has digitalised loops and funky beats, effortlessly making this track a statement piece. Get ready for this to define your summer 2023.
