Yves V And Sem Thomasson Reunite For Controversia Smash ‘Sound Of A Beating Heart’

Yves V and Sem Thomasson join forces for deep and emotive multirole track – “Sound Of A Beating Heart”, out now on CONTROVERSIA!

Yves V returns to CONTROVERSIA for his 5th single on Alok’s label and the 2nd produced with his fellow Belgian artist Sem Thomasson. Their new release – “Sound Of A Beating Heart,” is a melodic progressive house record that has both emotive and dancefloor elements. Opening with organic melodies, the first half of the track is haunting and minimal, with soulful vocals taking center stage. Yves and Sem up the ante in the latter part, incorporating deep and rhythmic melodies with a downtempo bassline. The song’s lyrics and melody are written by Nathan Nicholson of The Boxer Rebellion band, who as a songwriter, has also written for the likes of Kygo, Gryffin, Calum Scott, Claptone, Tinlicker, KC Lights, Hayden James and more. Yves V and Sem Thomasson previously worked together on “On Top Of The World,” which was released in 2016 on Spinnin’ Records and with “Sound Of A Beating Heart” coming out in 2023, it proves that sometimes studio chemistry only gets better in time.

“We really wanted to create something that would work production-wise in both a club and for home listening. It’s a deep track that still has these light elements to it, the topline expressing something that is quite moving and relatable, yet the progressive and higher BPM beats across the second half make it something that – we hope – the partiers will love too.” – Yves V & Sem Thomasson
