REXEN makes a stunning first impression with his debut single “My Heart”. This beautiful song introduces us to a new artist with a rich voice, thoughtful songwriting and a strong sense of style. The song feels warm and honest, pulling us into a calm and emotional space.
The production is simple but very smart. There’s nothing flashy, just soft drums, gentle guitar and light strings that let the lyrics and vocals shine. The lyrics are poetic and emotional with lines like “my heart is a wild creature that watches over me when I sleep” painting vivid images in a quiet and powerful way.
What makes this debut even more impressive is the team behind it. The song was mixed by John Parish, a legendary producer known for working with PJ Harvey and Sparklehorse. The fact that this is REXEN’s first song and already involves such a collaboration shows just how special this project is. It’s also the first glimpse of an upcoming album planned for 2026.
We really love the sound and feeling of “My Heart”. It’s the kind of song that doesn’t need to shout, it just speaks straight to the heart. REXEN has created something memorable and touching and we’re excited to see where his journey goes next.
