Full of epic landscapes, tumultuous characters, futile actions, and emotional warfare, viewers are taken on a heart-racing journey that bring Kent’s song to life.
“Some songs take on a life of their own. They demand to be put out into the world. I’ve been lucky enough to experience that a time or two. But never like this…our most highly anticipated release ever and it’s not even close. You guys have waited patiently, and we promised you it would be worth the wait. Well, now this song is yours. Hope it makes you feel something” says Kent.
“This Heart” was written by Thomas Archer, Blake Bollinger, Jacob Hackworth and Michael Tyler and produced by frequent collaborator Chris Farren.
