It doesn’t happen every day to be writing about a wonderful artist such as Tom Tippin. Born into art (his father is the legendary Country act Aaron Tippin), he was able to soak the gist of showmanship and artistic creation from a very young age, an experience that will go on to shape its identity forever. Based in Nashville, Tippin has been pursuing music for a few years, greatly showcasing its songwriting prowess: although Country is what he knows best, he’s constantly looking ahead, navigating a sound that stands at the crossroads of pop, folk and indie. The result? Irresistible sonic matter, drenched in heartfelt lyricism and catchy hooks.
Tippin’s latest effort takes the shape of ‘Hearts Like Ours’, a sultry, empowering and groovy gem. Following up on previous record ‘Chance To Love You’, the single confirms the ‘new artistic deal’ championed by the American talent. Researching for fresh and charming musical formulas, both tracks incorporate electronic soundscapes over a rich arrangement, featuring gritty guitars, punchy drums and Tom’s near-perfect vocals, often layered into a thick, evocative tone or convoluted harmonies.
Lyrically, the song wants to explore the feeling of giving in to reciprocal love, slowly discovering each other strengths and weaknesses to create mutual trust. The fun, playful and upbeat nature of the single aids the message cutting through the noise, resembling the exciting, bubbly sensations of early love.
