If, like me, you loved the debut heka EP (a) then you’ll be pleased to hear that she is back with a new song! If you missed it, here are some of my ramblings after I’d listened to an early stream… it remains like nothing else I’ve heard this year, in the best way possible. Sonic heaven, speaking straight to the soul. heka is back with the equally as stunning no one, arriving on Fire Talk’s ‘Open Tab‘ (a digital singles imprint marking its place as a discovery tool for listeners, platforming their favourite new artists.) The release marks the end of a pretty exciting year for heka and opens the door to an even more exciting 2022…
On the track, heka, AKA London-via-Italy artist Francesca Brierley, shares: “The pivoting lyric of this track,’ nobody ever gets this close anymore’, is something someone said to me once. It filled me with sadness even though I couldn’t fully understand the sentiment behind it at the time, and made its way to my brain, clinging to it, waiting to be experienced. Years later – when I’d finally understood what it meant to feel like that- this song was born.”
