Beams illuminate with hopeful new track ‘Heat Potential’

Toronto’s Beams unveil their latest single, ‘Heat Potential,’ a luminous offering from their upcoming album Requiem for a Planet, set to release on May 3rd.
Following the success of their vibrant lead single ‘A.W.I.L,’ ‘Heat Potential’ continues to captivate audiences with its steady rhythm and atmospheric charm.
Mērnieks-Duffield shares her insight into the inspiration behind ‘Heat Potential,” stating:
“Requiem is about grieving the loss of the ‘planet’ we were promised as kids. One where it seemed like we were collectively working to create a more positive future for all, and being faced with the reality that this is simply not true. It’s also about acceptance of this fact, and finding a way to dream up and realize better futures. We have every right to be angry and sad. But this is our life. If we live in a constant state of reaction to all of the fear-mongering, then the powers that spread those messages around are winning. We have to fight and make spaces to feel joy and love and community.”
Listen to ‘Heat Potential’ today. Requiem for a Planet is out on May 3rd.
