Mark Hegan has released his new single ‘North Star’ exclusively to Band Camp, three weeks before it will be made available on streaming services.  Hegan is doing this in order to raise funds for The Samaritans, a charity that aims to reduce the amount of lives lost through suicide in the UK.  The price of the single will be £1 and all earnings will be donated to the charity.  Following this, ‘North Star’ will be officially released on streaming services 28/5/20.

With ethereal soundscapes, delicate piano twinkles and warm vocal embraces, ‘North Star’ is a sublime example of Mark Hegan’s tender songwriting. The soft subtle electronics pulse and flutter behind pristine piano while Hegan’s emotive vocals caress the soft sweet melody.The song builds superbly creating an uplifting and heart racing crescendo as the beat intensifies and Hegan rushes passionate adrenaline through his atmospheric and heart felt soundscapes. This wonderfully crafted track is packed with oodles of passion and wispy touching melodies that are sure to ignite bittersweet emotions and memories of nostalgia, joy and melancholia. 

About the track Hegan said:  ‘‘North Star is a stripped back song about separation from those you love.  The song was penned during this period of lockdown and inspired by the new world we are all reluctantly living in.”
