Today marks a significant moment for LUV HRTS as the duo unveils the crystalization of the duo's collaborative efforts to-date, culminating in the release of their debut EP Hearts Vol. 1. EARMILK premieres the lead single off of the EP "STAY"'s official music video, directed by Mateusz Mazur.
As a collaboration between GRAMMY®-nominated producer Benjamin David (Mild Minds) and Ruby Haunt's Victor Pakpour, LUV HRTS represents a natural fusion of electronic expertise and indie sensibilities. "STAY" exemplifies this partnership, delivering warm melodies and intimate lyrics wrapped in sophisticated production. Filmed in Berlin, the official music video captures the essence of autumn in the creative capital while adding a visual dimension to the LUV HRTS project.
The collaboration between David and Pakpour emerged organically from years of friendship and mutual admiration. "Victor and I have been friends in music for years," David shares. "We started as collaborators on video clips, then began sharing ideas and new music we love. Occasionally we would get together and jam, and one of those days became the song "Dopamine" on my first Mild Minds album. As he started to produce music himself we started bouncing more ideas back and forth, we quickly realized we both loved emotion in dance music and at that moment this project spawned."
Hearts Vol. 1, released today via MOODS INTL., features four tracks that showcase their distinctive sound. The EP includes "U REALLY HURT ME," "GONNA GET THRU," and "CAN WE DO BETTER?" alongside "STAY," each blending electronic elements with emotional depth.
