HART Sets the Tone with "MOOD"

Calgary, Alberta’s Keston Ross, known professionally as HART, makes music that reaches deep into the soul. His latest track, MOOD, showcases his gift for combining heartfelt melodies, soulful grooves, and honest lyrics that never shy away from vulnerability, cementing his place in modern R&B.

Born of Trinidadian, Scottish, and Polish heritage, HART grew up surrounded by a mix of musical influences. His father, Clearance Ross, known as CAT, was a soca percussionist for the band Charlie’s Roots in Trinidad and Tobago, and he played a major role in shaping his son’s musical instincts. HART says, “My dad was a massive influence on my interest in singing, rhythm, and music in general. He has always supported me with my music, and I intend to keep the musical flame alive in our family. He gave me a love for rhythm, soul, and creativity with my voice, which has allowed my sound to remain versatile and authentic.”

Heartbreak is at the centre of HART’s music. He explains, “Looking at the relationships I had my heart broken from or had to break a heart for gave me the motivation to write songs. It was my way of learning from my lows and remembering the highs. I picked up the pieces of my heart and put it back together without spelling it correctly so that I will never forget the lessons from my past.” MOOD embodies this honesty, offering listeners a glimpse into love, loss, and desire.

HART releases his music under his own imprint, Lovesick Music, and his growing fanbase are known as the Lovesick Squad. With MOOD, he delivers a track that feels both personal and universal, capturing the complexity of relationships in a way that resonates with anyone who has loved and lost.

The track also gives a taste of his upcoming project, Lovesick Diaries Vol.1, expected by the end of 2023. The project promises to continue exploring heartbreak, commitment, and desire, building on the sound and emotion HART has become known for. MOOD is a standout moment, proving that HART is an artist unafraid to lay his emotions bare while crafting music that sticks with the listener long after the song ends.
