Heartless Archives

Back in August 2019, Morgan Wallen surprised fans with “Heartless”, an EDM collab with music producer Diplo. After racking up over 80 million streams, the two announced that pop singer-songwriter Julia Michaels would be joining them for a remix and music video.

The country-dance track, originally sung solely by Wallen, remains pretty similar: his vocal performance is intense and soul-crushing; he’s heartbroken that the girl he likes is stringing him along, all while still being catchy.

The remix opens with Wallen singing the words “heartless” as an introduction, and then Michaels opens the first verse. Her soulful, songwriter’s voice glides through the verse and into the chorus where she is joined by Wallen for some crisp harmonies. Wallen sings the rest of the song with Michaels on some backup harmonies, and their voices sound great together, especially on the last chorus.

It’s exciting to see this song take off and to see Wallen gain new fans all around the world. Wallen is currently on his headlining ‘Whiskey Glasses Roadshow’ tour, playing shows all around the country.

Big Loud Records recording artist, Morgan Wallen is taking the country world by storm with his music. Met with a positive reception for his debut record If I Know Me, the singer-songwriter has already garnered two consecutive number one hits with “Up Down” featuring Florida Georgia Line, and “Whiskey Glasses.” Wallen is teaming up with a superstar in the music industry yet again, collaborating with EDM DJ and producer, Diplo on their new song “Heartless.”

After just one listen, “Heartless” is a song that already feels like a smash hit. It has all the elements of a good song- a catchy beat, relatable lyrics, and a strong vocal delivery. Wallen crushes the vocals on the new jam, wishing the girl he likes would just decide what they were and stop leaving him heartbroken. The track defies genre rules and barriers, as Wallen’s voice blurs lines.

“But why you gotta be so heartless / I know you think it’s harmless / You’re tearing me apart / And girl the hardest part is / You’re so high on attention / Taking miles from inches / Leave me in the darkness / Never finished what we started / Girl why you gotta be so heartless”

This isn’t the first time a country artist has experimented with the softer side of EDM music. The boys of FGL combined their vocals with female artist, Bebe Rexha in their record-holding “Meant to Be,” which sat at the top of the charts for 50 consecutive weeks. Kelsea Ballerini also lent her voice to The Chainsmoker’s “This Feeling,” while Maren Morris showed off her talent in Zedd and Grey’s “The Middle.” We’re excited to see which artists engage in a cross-genre collaboration next. Check out other collaborations that happened in 2018 here and some of our favorite country collaborations here.

As for Wallen, he will continue his opening gig on Florida Georgia Line’s ‘Can’t Say I Ain’t Country Tour’ through September. In the latter half of the year, the superstar in the making will join the Grand Ole Opry’s newest inductee, Luke Combs on the second leg of his ‘Beer Never Broke My Heart Tour.’ For tickets and more information head to morganwallen.com.
