Watch the music video: youtu.be/YBfy4EL42a4

After being discovered by and invited to join the "Beyond Music" project co-founded by Tina Turner in early 2021 – and then winning an award for one of the two joint collaborations he took part in with musicians from around the globe the same year – Jacoby Elliott now returns to Y the Ghost (his solo music project) with a new single and music video entitled “Heart to Heart.”

Says Elliott, “It’s about the desire for authentic, loving communication in a relationship on the brink of disintegrating. What started as a song about a relationship with one person evolved into a song that's more broadly about my relationship with the world as well as the relationship between internal parts of me that had become estranged from each other.”

Sonic elements in the production (also undertaken by Elliott) evoke feelings of isolation, artifice, and longing in the form of etheric vocoders and the utilization of negative space within the dynamics by leaving room for quiet, meditative stillness in between methodically placed rhythmic percussion and drums inspired by 80s/90s Pop and R&B. Vocals are very much at the forefront with melodies and lyrics being the driving forces of the song.

lyrics

Lyrics:

Read between all of your lines
Got secrets underneath
All your sheets of ice
Speak to me all of your mind
Come with me to a space
Where we tell no lies

I'm sick and tired of watching things fall apart
If it's the last thing I do, I wanna know your heart
Know your heart, When I'm gone
I hope that you know I gave it all I got
If it's the last thing I do, I'm gonna show my heart

So rain on me all of your thoughts
We can face any storm
When we're Heart to Heart

And I'm not afraid of anything that you are
And I just want you to know
I have always seen you

Aren't you tired of watching things fall apart?
If it's the last thing I do, I wanna know your heart
When we're done, don't you wanna say you gave it all you got?
If it's the last thing I do, I'm gonna show my heart

One foot, in front,
of the other, one-by-one
I'll move, slowly
Closing, on you, Heart to Heart

"The synth dynamo reveals signs of his spirit as he channels deep, primitive emotions creating a cinematic score for a story that innocently draws from childhood magic while curiously hinting at the dark and supernatural .. showing many sides to the man behind the music .. a very passionate and self-expressive work of art composed with devotion and impressionism." - Impose Magazine ... more
