'Queens, Kings & All Big Things' - The Title Track From Harts New Album.

Harts thoughts on the creative process of this Album were thus, “Throughout the process of writing this album. I was back and forth between Australia and the U.S. I went though a lot of changes in that two year period, both in my Personal and Music life. A lot of self discovery, dealing with lack of self confidence, and finding my place within this world. I think a lot of that is reflected into this album. It's unashamedly brought up throughout the songs. In that way, (as wacky as the ride may me) there’s a lot of personal struggle within this body of work."

"Overall it has a different musical and production style to the previous album, utilising a lot more intricate hypnotic rhythms, beautiful chords, melodies, orchestras, dynamic vocals and arrangements. I feel it’s a progression for me as a songwriter, composer, musician and solo Artist and I’m very proud of it” - Harts Harts went independent for his 2014 long-player, Daydreamer, a ten-track collection of guitar-heavy electro-funk jams that drew praise from Prince Rogers Nelson himself. Prince noted that Hart's full-length debut reminded him of, how I was at that age”. It was later revealed that Harts had traveled to Prince's Paisley Park compound earlier in the year for a meet-and-greet/jam session. 2015 saw Harts release his second EP titled Breakthrough, which featured two Triple J #1 played songs with 'When a Man’s A Fool' and the title track 'Breakthrough'.

Harts was approached by Subaru for an experimental creative campaign in which the 2016 WRX model car was fitted with the guitarists Wah pedal as the accelerator. The campaign reached hundreds of thousands of people and helped cement "Harts" as Australia’s new guitar hero. 2015 also saw Harts play shows in both Hong Kong, and Thailand.
