ILLENIUM & JVKE, With All My Heart [๐Ÿ“ท: Brent Faulkner/The Musical Hype; Illenium LLC / Warner; OpenClipart-Vectors, PIRO via Pixabay]DJ/Producer ILLENIUM and ascending pop singer/songwriter, JVKE make a formidable team on single, โ€œWith All My Heart.โ€

โ€œAnd I hope that when Iโ€™m gone / Youโ€™ll forgive me, all my wrongs / Say a prayer for me, I know I donโ€™t deserve your love, yeah.โ€ Oh, what thoughtful lyrics, ๐ŸŽ™ JVKE. The rising pop musician with a golden voice joins forces with DJ/producer ๐ŸŽ™ ILLENIUM on the single, ๐ŸŽต โ€œWith All My Heartโ€. ย ILLENIUM produces this 13th track from ๐Ÿ’ฟ ILLENIUM (arrives April 28, 2023) alongside ๐ŸŽ› Jason Evigan. The sound and aesthetic are incredibly sweet, with a fine palette of sounds and plenty of rhythmically satisfying instrumental moments.

ILLENIUM, ILLENIUM [๐Ÿ“ท: Illenium LLC / Warner]JVKE, of course, handles all of the vocals, including the tuneful centerpiece, the chorus:

โ€œSo, with all my heart, Iโ€™m gonna love

With all my heart, Iโ€™m gonna trust

With all my heart, Iโ€™m gonna give you everythingโ€ฆโ€

Notably, there is also a DROP post-chorus โ€“ it goes with the territory with electronic music. Thematically, JVKE, who writes with ILLENIUM, Evigan, ๐ŸŽผ โœ Rami, and Zac Lawson, focuses on love and evolving as a person. โ€œI donโ€™t wanna look at where Iโ€™ve been,โ€ he sings in the second verse, adding, โ€œI wanna look at where Iโ€™m goinโ€™ / Let my mess become my message, it made me who I am.โ€ Prudent, by all means.


Final Thoughts ๐Ÿ’ญ
