Music collective Everyone Orchestra celebrated its 20th anniversary on Tuesday with the release of “Heart Full of Love”. The sprawling, 16-minute single from the Matt Butler-led rotating musical troupe features 73 artists adding to the rhythmic gumbo.
Centered around the songwriting of Zach Gill (ALO), “Heart Full of Love” is a message of fortitude going into the new year. The refrain of “Dance into 2021 with our hearts full of love” finds these musicians once again hoping the year ahead is going to be better than the year behind. With Matt Butler conducting, each section gets a chance to sound off amid a flurry of familiar faces. Video and audio editing from Todd Kushnir ensures that this is not just another Zoom music video.
“Heart Full of Love” was composed virtually, as digital files were sent around, overlaid, mixed, and mastered to become a layered opus.
Butler described the single as, “a fun and happy song meant to lift hearts and spirits in a time when hopefulness can be hard to come by, and the music industry is once again being wrought with cancellations and lost touring opportunities. Our hope is to raise the vibration as much as we can by putting out this work, at this time.”
