HAERTS GIVING UP

HAERTS return with another sliver of pop gold in 'Giving Up'. It's the second teaser off their forthcoming debut on Columbia, after 'Call My Name', and their glorious Hemiplegia EP - and it showcases the Brooklynites at their absolute purest, Muscular synths canter alongside choppy percussion and wispy choral parts like a throng of rather peacockish prized racehorses, as singer Nini Fabi - whose naked body is adorned with iridescent paint in the lyric video - sweetly croons, "Now I'm a stranger in my own world/It's not your fault that I can't use words." Heartbreaking, but more devilishly retro than Madonna taking over the dancefloor in a sparkly cocktail dress.
