Lance Herman keeps building his reputation among folks who love to dive deep into their feelings. The South African artist always searched for his own outlet to channel those accumulated emotions. He found music, and he’s still at it today.
Herman’s restless spirit pulled him across borders. Left home, saw the world, learned some things. All that wandering around gave him material, and now he’s sharing it through his tracks. His new single “My Lonely Heart” confronts you directly with themes of unrequited love and heartbreak.
This track drowns you in fog and melancholy. Pure atmospheric weight here. There’s definitely something Radiohead-esque in the DNA — that same detached, emotionally complex vibe. The Tokyo music video amplifies the surreal factor. Neon lights cutting through urban haze create an almost dreamlike visual that perfectly matches the sound. The backing melody delivers genuine pleasure. It’s unobtrusive but penetrating, taking you on a journey to nowhere specific. You’re floating, time becomes irrelevant.
Lance’s vocal approach feels wonderfully spontaneous. His voice emerges and complements rather than dominates. The vocal delivery feels more stream of consciousness than structured singing, pure improvisation flowing over the track. Familiar emotions resurface with renewed intensity, encouraging joyful reflection on past days.
The production creates this hazy, melancholic atmosphere without being depressing, nostalgic without being sentimental. Lance Herman understands that sometimes the most powerful music happens in the atmosphere rather than in the obvious hooks.
“My Lonely Heart” succeeds because it trusts the listener to fill in the emotional gaps, to bring their own experiences to the table. I’ve been stuck on this track for days now. Perfect soundtrack when you need to disconnect, go inward, and shake off the stress. Herman created something that works both as background meditation and focused listening.
