Jason Reeves's new single "Helium Hearts," is now streaming on his Myspace and will be available from all digital retailers on August 17th, followed by a radio impact date of September 20th. The track is the first single from Reeves' new album, The Lovesick — due for release this winter on Warner Bros. Records. Listen to it here
Produced by Adam Smith, The Lovesick, features songwriting collaborations with WBR's Senior Vice President of A&R, Kara DioGuardi, who signed Reeves to the label, as well as Reeves' frequent collaborator, singer-songwriter Colbie Caillat. Reeves co-wrote 10 tracks on Caillat's platinum debut Coco, including the smash hit singles "Bubbly" and "Realize," as well as 10 tracks on the deluxe edition of her album Breakthrough which included current hit single "I Never Told You."
The 26-year-old Iowa City native has been amassing a strong touring base for the past two years in support of his debut album, The Magnificent Adventures of Heartache (and Other Frightening Tales), which was re-released by Warner Bros. Records after selling briskly as an independent release in 2007. The album's hook-filled songs of love, hope, heartbreak, and renewal, matched with Reeves' engaging tenor voice, led iTunes to name Reeves one of the Top Indie Singer-Songwriters of 2007.
Reeves is a three-time ASCAP Pop Award winner. His other collaborations include Lenka's "The Show," which went to No. 1 in multiple territories around the world and tied with the classic "Stand By Me" for the most-synched song of last year for SonyATV.
