Oliver Heldens returns to his Heldeep Records with “Heart Cry,” a powerful new collaboration with rising UK star Poppy Baskcomb. Blending ethereal melodic techno with sweeping trance influences, the track stands as one of Heldens’ most emotionally resonant productions to date. Anchored by the poignant vocal line “Can you hear my heart cry for you?”, the track pulses with longing and catharsis, showcasing a side of Heldens that is both introspective and dancefloor-ready.
“When I made the initial instrumental idea of this track, it already felt like something special to me, it had this melancholic feel that just grabs you. But when I did a studio session with Poppy and she tried some vocal ideas over the track, I was instantly hooked by her very first idea for it, which sounded almost exactly like how it sounds now on the final version. She just nailed it instantly and took it to another level!” – Oliver Heldens
Poppy Baskcomb, known for her breakout performance on Tiësto’s “Drifting,” as well as collabs with Anyma, Kaskade, and Meduza, delivers a spine-tingling vocal that surges with both vulnerability and strength. Her haunting tone perfectly complements Heldens’ lush arrangement, balancing shimmering synth textures with a deep, driving rhythm. The result is a release that feels expansive and cinematic—a moment of stillness amid the high-energy chaos of the club. “Heart Cry” is out now on all mayor streaming platforms.
