Hello World, the sonic brainchild of producer and singer-songwriter Drew Wilken, debuts his brand new single “Heartpiece” with accompanying music video from Stumbling Productions. The video, which debuted today, follows an armored Wilken as he embarks on a quest for love through lush foliage and beautiful castle scenery.
With a tendency to combine progressive pop and 8-bit instrumentals, helloworld's sound is best described as future nostalgia. In his first single of the calendar year, “Heartpiece” sees the creative wearing his heart on his sleeve. Emotionally painful through its swelling chords and effervescent vocal delivery, “Heartpiece” is a raw ballad.
Commenting on the track, helloworld said: “Lyrically, the song came together so easily. We loved the idea of taking inspiration from Tears of the Kingdom and Legend of Zelda – where Link is constantly searching for Zelda to save her, comparing it to something completely unattainable that we all strive to find in our lives. For me it was “the perfect girl” or fame, money. I wanted to shape this song into a ballad about you constantly looking for that thing in the sky that you can't reach, and you know you can't reach it, but you find yourself waking up every day, treading oceans and climbing mountains for it . Something that doesn't exist. Perfect doesn't exist. This, for me, is the beginning of a journey – the beginning of a quest.”
