Vancouver-born pianist and producer Hoang is set to unveil Heartstrings, his debut album arriving January 31 via Lost In Dreams Records. Spanning 10 emotionally charged tracks, the album seamlessly weaves together melodic bass and dance-pop elements, offering a deeply personal reflection on love, loss, and growth. Known for his ability to craft emotionally resonant soundscapes, Hoang infuses Heartstrings with a raw sincerity that invites listeners into his world, capturing both the euphoric highs and aching lows of personal transformation. From soaring anthems to introspective ballads, the album promises a cathartic journey through sound, rich with intricate production and heartfelt storytelling.
At the heart of Heartstrings are its evocative collaborations, including the standout track “Better Now” with Tampa-based producer VLCN and Los Angeles vocalist Casey Cook. A cathartic anthem about finding clarity and strength after hardship, the song reflects on the bittersweet realization that even the most difficult moments can lead to something better. Cook’s emotive vocals glide over a lush arrangement of guitar-driven synths, delicate piano melodies, stirring strings, and a gentle yet powerful melodic bassline. VLCN’s signature production touch adds an extra layer of depth, blending warmth and intensity to amplify the track’s emotional core. Together, they craft an immersive listening experience that perfectly encapsulates Heartstrings’ essence—where vulnerability meets resilience in a dynamic, sonically rich space.
