Mannequin Flowers – “Heartbeat”

London-based act Mannequin Flowers unveil a dreamy rock appeal on new single “Heartbeat,” which they describe as “about not loving someone back.” Ardent guitar pushes past the mid-point transition with cohesive elegance into the strumming acoustics and space-like frequencies. The caressing vocals in the verses lead into an enjoyable anthemic spirit in the chorus, strutting a dynamic tonal charm that still retains a dreamy engrossment throughout.

Per the act: “It’s a modern twist on the heartbreak song. It captures the guilt and the questioning of unrequited love.”
