The keen reader might remember New Jersey-based troubadour Jason Bembry. Far from your typical singer-songwriter, the talented American creative is a classically trained pianist with a vast musical knowledge. That’s crucial information, as our previous article on Bembry saw him bathing in a summer-driven pop anthem, ‘Liability’. Yet, Jason has now returned with a heavily meaningful and heartfelt cut, ‘Frozen Hearts’, a mark of the deep eclecticism enjoyed by Bembry. He’s perfectly at home in a variety of settings, constantly navigating towards a particular inspiration.
This time, the inspiration came from the world around him. Our complex and frail reality prompted him to engage in mellower material, perhaps striving to connect with like-minded listeners, offering a powerful catalyst for reflection. ‘Frozen Hearts’ sees Jason Bembry making good use of his piano skills, with a melancholic, evocative arpeggio laying the groundwork for a cinematic pop jewel, a blend of ethereal textures and hypnotic, anthemic grooves. Bembry’s nuanced and precise vocals crown an already impressive aural picture, allowing the track to reach its emotional zenith.
Delving deeper into ‘Frozen Hearts’, the American artist explains: “I wanted to write music that meets us where we are in these moments of grief, anger, resentment, and isolation. Frozen Hearts is not a breakup song. It’s looking at the world around us and realising that, to move forward, we need to sit with these strong emotions long enough to strike the match to warm our own hearts.”
