I know, I know: y’all are sick to death of restlessly-creative, genre-defying A-Town hopefuls. Oh? You’re not tired of that? Well, damn, that’s convenient—because today, another fresh ATL singer/songwriter makes his Booth debut. On newly-leaked mixtape cut Dear Heartbeat, unsigned R&B artist Muzi takes inspiration from English electronic trio Darkstar. Over a pensive synth-piano instrumental borrowed from the group’s cut of the same title (off 2010 debut full-length North), the up-and-comer showcases a uniquely understated vocal style, exhorting his battered and bruised heart to pull together and keep him going for a little while longer. A veteran of eclectically-chill bangers like this one, longtime Booth fave and freestyle series alum Novel tops it all off with some lightly-Autotuned chorus and backing vocals. Has this moody banger left you intrigued? Then keep it locked—Shoden!1 Presents: Somnolence has yet to receive a release date, but you’ll be the first to know when that changes.

I never heard the original version of the instrumental before today, but this re-imagined version by Muzi and Novel is SUPER fresh. You'll listen to it on repeat, I'm fairly confident of this.

I may be a lil bias... But i heard his whole mixtape and i was proud to be a part of it. Him and Shoden!1 go in on this project.

Wow. This was such a great track. Everything just fits and Muzi's vocals are superb. Novel's feature only adds to this track's greatness, but in all honesty, Muzi killed this shit.

I have been a novel fan for some time now. He has such a great voice and him featuring in this is great.
