“Heart Breaks the Same” is a climactic new track from Austin Max, impressing a couple years back with debut single “As Leaders Fail to Lead.” The Los Angeles-based artist (originally hailing from Nashville) touts stellar production and songwriting again, with “Heart Breaks the Same” swelling from debonair rock to synth-laden hookiness.
The “my heart breaks the same,” chorus rouses with a suavely entrancing charm, melodically gripping with a nostalgic fervor. The lush synth pad around 02:45 ignites a lovely bridge that stands out as well, evolving into a hypnotically concluding refrain with scorching guitar additions. “Heart Breaks the Same” marks another success from Austin Max.
