Pauline Herr and joegarratt have revealed their electrifying new collaboration, “heartbreak,” set to be featured on bitbird’s upcoming compilation album, Gouldian Finch 5. The stunning new song emerged from the depths of creativity when Pauline Herr, the acclaimed artist known for her captivating vocals and innovative production, stumbled upon a discarded hyperpop instrumental. Initially considering it as a throwaway track, fate had other plans in store. The song took a life of its own when bitbird connected Pauline with the exceptionally talented UK-based producer and singer, joegarratt.
The moment joegarratt shared his mesmerizing vocal ideas with Pauline Herr, she knew there was something truly special in the making. The spark of inspiration was instantaneous, compelling her to embark on a journey to reimagine the song completely. The result is a breathtaking fusion of their distinctive styles, showcasing the remarkable synergy between the two artists.
Reflecting on the collaboration, Pauline Herr shares her excitement, saying, “This is the second vocal feature I’ve had on a record and it’s been really cool to be on the other side of things (in the past I’ve always featured on tracks but not the reverse). It’s a lot of fun to mess with the production of someone else’s vocals and add my own background harmonies & layers.“
The single promises to take listeners on an emotive journey, combining Pauline Herr’s hauntingly emotive voice with joegarratt’s soul-stirring production, resulting in an enthralling sonic experience that lingers long after the song concludes.
“heartbreak” is set to become a powerful addition to Gouldian Finch 5, a compilation album known for its cutting-edge, genre-blending tracks, which is set to release on bitbird on August 11th.
