ILLENIUM & JVKE, With All My Heart [📷: 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, “With All My Heart.”

“And I hope that when I’m gone / You’ll forgive me, all my wrongs / Say a prayer for me, I know I don’t deserve your love, yeah.” Oh, what thoughtful lyrics, 🎙 JVKE. The rising pop musician with a golden voice joins forces with DJ/producer 🎙 ILLENIUM on the single, 🎵 “With All My Heart”.  ILLENIUM produces this 13th track from 💿 ILLENIUM (arrives April 28, 2023) alongside 🎛 Jason Evigan. The sound and aesthetic are incredibly sweet, with a fine palette of sounds and plenty of rhythmically satisfying instrumental moments.

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

“So, with all my heart, I’m gonna love

With all my heart, I’m gonna trust

With all my heart, I’m gonna give you everything…”

Notably, there is also a DROP post-chorus – it goes with the territory with electronic music. Thematically, JVKE, who writes with ILLENIUM, Evigan, 🎼 ✍ Rami, and Zac Lawson, focuses on love and evolving as a person. “I don’t wanna look at where I’ve been,” he sings in the second verse, adding, “I wanna look at where I’m goin’ / Let my mess become my message, it made me who I am.” Prudent, by all means.


Final Thoughts 💭

big moodAll said and done, ILLENIUM and JVKE make a formidable team.  The vocals are solid.  The production is ear-catching – a definite vibe.  The songwriting is also #WINNING, particularly the most reflective, thoughtful moments. 🎵 “With All My Heart” serves as a nice preface to 💿 ILLENIUM.
