Our fav Kid Hastings is back with a track & story you’re never gonna believe ✨ “Off Guard” follows his indie pop soundscape but has moments of mellowness when intertwined with the upbeat melody & soft vocals. After being thrown off guard by two consecutive break-ups & in the more literal & physical sense, being taken aback by being hit by a car, the singer’s time in hospital led him to create “Off Guard” as a catharsis to make sense of the situation. 💘Check out our full thoughts on “Off Guard” on our site + tune into our story today for a take over from Kid Hastings 🤩
“We’ve been having a lot more fun in the experimentation stage of the creative process. Usually when we make a record it’s similar to a Jackson Pollock painting - we just chuck tones of stuff at a canvas and hope it comes out alright. With this next project we’re spending a little longer exploring influences & sounds before putting anything down properly. I think it’s easy to get caught up in what comes the quickest & not necessarily what feels the most exciting.” - Alex Headford of Jadu Heart in Issue 14 💘 🌟Print copies of Issue 14 are currently sold out on our site but you can still cop a digital copy as a Monday treat for yourself ✨
Submission opportunity 🗣 Sure has been a year that’s allowed us to think about what really matters & get back to our roots. As always, we look forward to your submissions 🥳💘🌟✨
