Joakim is back.This time tough, he surprises us with a small pop jewel! But Lonely Hearts is not a classic pop song, it is much more Joakims interpretation of one. A catchy tune, which does not want to be one. An exciting contrast between catchiness and a bleeping onslaught.On Lonely Hearts, cheesy sounding strings really stand out over a stoic stomping drum beat, dark singing grates against beeping keyboard playing, in the chorus a wonderful melody has a comforting effect over the very sad lyrics.In addition to the album version and the radio edit, the Lonely Hearts Maxi also features the Loving Hand remix by Tim Goldsworthy. The musician (LCD Soundsystem) and label owner (DFA Records) skillfully pulls Lonely Hearts to the left, brushing it into a dark club track. With the distorted slow motion vocals, the funky bass run and the demanding beats, it is suddenly very close to the sound that already characterized Joakims club hits Are You Vegetarian and Come Into My Kitchen. And you ll also fin a Joakim dub of the track. This dub keep the pop side of the song with a more catchy approach for a more dancefloor version of the original and with always the weirdness you use to find now in the Joakim production !Supported by Tim Sweeney, Prins Thomas
