Direction of the Heart

Simple Minds

A high-energy collection of stadium-sized rock anthems. Shimmering synthesizers and driving basslines create a sound that is both modern and unmistakably classic.

Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive synth-brass hook on Vision Thing that immediately signals a return to big-canvas songwriting
The soaring, melodic bassline in First You Jump that carries the track into a classic Simple Minds chorus
The cinematic, slow-burn build of Solstice Kiss which erupts into a wall of shimmering guitars
