11 11 – My Heart
Fittingly the first track to be released from the long awaited ‘11 11’ collaboration between Guy Gerber and Diddy is ‘My Heart’. A glimpse into the beating soul of the project, ‘My Heart’ is an intimate and intricate slice of the album’s electronic futurism, an exciting glimpse at what’s to come.
‘11 11’ is a realization of worlds colliding and ‘My Heart’ embodies this disruption – from the early exchange of sultry bass and euphoric rhythm guitars, a rap to ‘invite the morning’ followed by Diddy’s delicately distorted other worldly refrain of ‘In my heart, I’m scared’ to Gerber’s beautiful chorus of synths, ‘My Heart’ sounds like nothing else, it’s an exploration of the conflicting forces that drew two unique individuals together.
Guy and Diddy’s collaboration was not born out of opportunism, indeed it’s dismissive of the current main-stage malaise, and was germinated before the current electronic explosion; ’11 11’ is collaborative and combative, an expression of two outsized creative personalities unfettered, unfiltered, fearless, raw, and after four years of work, here for your enjoyment.
