Patrick Will For’s new single, “Golden Heartbeat,” is one of those magic moments, an intimate cut born from a spontaneous guitar session that turned into something golden.
Rooted in the strummed simplicity of chords, then filled out by understated, contemporary beats, it’s a song that has an organic charm that is impossible to resist. Patrick’s decision to allow this music to tick over at its own leisure is palpable in every note. There’s no rush, no standoff, just an open rhythm that drifts like sunlight through open windows. It’s chill, yet undeniably alive.
Patrick’s musical odyssey was set against the natural beauty and artistic creativity of small-town life. Then he made his voice known in the vibrant scenes of Maine and Colorado, honing his craft and feeding off the vitality of a noisy, basement-level brand of performance. Now based in Miami, he draws from the city’s life and beauty, both with South American roots for his music, infusing an easy feeling with a syncopated heartbeat.
“Golden Heartbeat” is a taste of what’s to come from Patrick Will For and a reminder that inspiration often strikes when we let go and follow the music where it wants us to go. Listeners will sway, lifted by the track’s gently swinging beat and its glow like the setting sun. “Golden Heartbeat” is now available on Spotify, allowing listeners to pause, take a breath, and feel their pulse align with Patrick’s.
