New boys on the pop-dance block, Diagram of the Heart – aka electronic duo Kys Sones and Anthony Gorry – are bounding onto the music scene with their debut single “Dead Famous”, due for release on July 11.
This euphoric track has a poppy Calvin Harris-esque feel, and could well be a contender for this year’s soundtrack to summer. Whilst we’ve definitely heard this type of track before, the catchy lyrics and rhythms still highlight Diagram of the Heart as one to watch, especially with after their recent performance at T4 on the Beach.
“Dead Famous” has piano riffs, electronic synths, moody vocals and Europe’s champion pole dancer doing some pretty nifty moves in the video – what’s not to love? Yes, it may be a little bit cheesy, but it’s a toe-tapping treat for sunny days.
Diagram of the Heart’s album, “Vital Signs”, is due for release in autumn.
