Paul Chaisson - Listen to My Heartbeat
Christian/Gospel, R&B, Country
Indiana, United States
Overall Impression: As already detailed by songwriter Paul Chaisson, "Listen to My Heartbeat" is a story told from the perspective of an unborn child who is raring to experience the life that awaits him. Past the lighthearted nature of the track and the childlike innocence that the lead vocals encompass, there is undoubtedly a deeper and more poignant meaning that lies at the very heart of the song's themes, and with the ever-growing abortion debate that is sweeping across the states, there is a definite relevance to the track that Paul clearly is passionate about and rightfully wants to express, that's certainly commendable.
Strongest Point(s): There is a definite uplifting nature to the track that audiences will find charming and the uptempo feel to the track certainly helps to keep energy levels high from start to finish. The lyrics certainly help capture the innocence of a child and there is just the right amount of quirkiness to the humor that will surely raise a few smiles, again, playing into the song's charming qualities.
Target Audience Appeal: The innocent nature of the vocals will most likely appeal to a younger audience whilst the values and themes that underpin the track will undoubtedly appeal to Christian music lovers.
Artist target suggestions: David Crowder Band, Michael W. Smith, Dana Dirksen, Listener Kids, Mary Rice Hopkins, The Lockwoods, Kids Bop Kids, Ella Jenkins, Jamie Soles
