CLINTON WASHINGTON, “Hearts Beat Loud”
One of the reasons why I’m a regular watcher of TV’s The Voice is to see where some of its finest contestants end up going next. Whether they get cut from the show at the Battle Rounds or any of the next steps, there is some immensely fine talent that just doesn’t fit into the rest of the competition. Arkansas native Clinton Washington ended up finishing his time on the show facing off against Top 5 contestant India Carney last season with their beautiful duet of Rihanna’s “Stay”, but he left an indelible mark with his distinct voice and commanding stage presence. His new single “Hearts Beat Loud” is a heart-wringer, and you may need a few tissues to help you get through. Clinton has an engaging and genuine delivery that is so becoming and fits easily alongside some of our finest singers today. Once you hear this knockout of a song you will wonder why it shouldn’t be front and centre on the radio, but alas that is not the nature of our business today. So give the video a good solid watch and look forward to hearing more from this very talented singer. Play it back to back with Adele’s “Hello” 🙂
