Martha Rose – “Heart Still Beats 4 U”

April 24, 2024

Originally hailing from England and now in Germany, Martha Rose brings us her latest track “Heart Still Beats 4 U.” It begins with a speaking intro (“sometimes nothing is sweeter than what remains unsaid”) that breaks into a synth forward track that feels like a tip of the cap to 80’s style Madonna or Paula Abdul with plenty of modern day Clairo and Japanese Breakfast influence.

Fans of Blue Hawaii, TOPS, or Grimes looking that “next big band” would certainly find a lot to enjoy here. Rose and Gregory have an ear for composition and have the sound of artists punching well above their weight with a polished yet not overwrought vibe. You can[...]
