Press Quotes about “Heartbeat”
“Ziggy Alberts is giving us a glimpse into his new era of music with his emotive single ‘Heartbeat’. Diving into the topic of love, Alberts beautifully explores the complexities of relationships with his captivating storytelling. From his warm vocals to his earnest lyrics ‘heartbeat’ is a record that will leave you floating through the clouds.” – Spindle, UK
“In keeping with Ziggy Alberts’ style, “Heartbeat” is a piece of easy-going acoustic pop. It is a simple and timeless formula but one Alberts pulls off to great effect. With an exceedingly smooth croon, gently fingerpicked guitar, and a hint of steady percussion, the track isn’t breaking his folk-tinged mold, but he delivers the romantic track with an earnest passion that even the most cynical will find hard to resist.”- Under the Radar Magazine, US
“Folk-hewn but modern-facing, his work sits alongside those early Ben Howard cuts or even Jack Johnson, that kind of slick but still endearingly earnest musicality.” – Clash, UK
“For fans who’ve been following Ziggy’s career from day dot, his increasing popularity wouldn’t come as a shock. To everyone else, the Ziggy story is probably still something of a surprise. He’s a self-made success, and it’s a grassroots swell plenty of people are getting behind” – Triple J
