“Heart” is a recent track from Bo and the Locomotive, the project of St. Louis-based songwriter, producer, and performer Bo Bulawsky. Marking the first song released from an upcoming full-length, “Heart” shows excellently. Chugging guitars and slight synths complement a heartfelt vocal presence to start. Chirpier, melodic guitar segments emerge past the one-minute mark, with the “there is a heart,” vocal exuding a warming twang. Understated in its elegance with gradual synth touches, the track concludes with some escalating guitar distortion that eventually traces back into a caressing, jangly charm. “Heart” is a winner from Bo and the Locomotive.
