All these elements are intertwined in perfect harmony allowing listeners of all ages to connect on a deeper level with the song. Ryan Kinder’s song, “Heart” brings about a refreshing change in a world where the term music has been loosely associated with demeaning lyrics and less than spectacular vocals.
