MARIUS BEAR drops new single ‘Blood of my Heartbeat’

Blood of my Heartbeat was produced by Jimmy Hogarth (Amy Winehouse, James Blunt, James Bay) and comes complete with a euphoric chorus, driving piano and urgent drumbeats that race like a pulse. It is no wonder that the track is a fan favourite during Marius Bearā€™s live set as he continues to storm European festivals. This new cut follows previous single My Crown, which was co-written with Ian Barter (Amy Winehouse, Izzy Bizu, Paloma Faith) and produced by Eliot James (Kaiser Chiefs, Two Door Cinema Club, Noah & the Whale).

Swiss born and living in London, Marius Bear has been hailed as an unforgettable voice, and is already having an unforgettable 2019, having won the “Best New Talentā€ Award at the Swiss Music Awards in February.

His story could have sprung from a Hollywood movie: Marius’ singing talent was discovered by chance at the tender age of 21 whilst he was serving in the Swiss army. Commanding troops as a young lieutenant, a soldier quipped that his superior would be better singing than barking orders. A jam session with his soldier ensued the same night, and confirmed that Marius had real talent and would be better served holding a note rather than a gun.

After his military service, Marius made the leap across the Atlantic, moving from his native mountains of Appenzell first to New York, and then London, earning his keep as a busker.Ā Marius soon rolled into BIMM London for a one year course in music production, and started to hone his craft with local songwriters and producers. This period firmly shapedĀ Mariusā€™ writing, with stories rooted in the contrasts between his origins and his adoptive London.

With 2019 already proving a success for Marius with the release of My Crown and a busy festival season in Europe underway, we are sure to see him join the ranks of incredible male vocalists such as Lewis Capaldi,Ā Rag’n’Bone Man, George Ezra and Matt Corby.
