Alternative-rock/pop act, Caleb Kopta, is set to independently release his forthcoming single “Heart Attack” on Friday, April 8th, 2022.
Caleb Kopta had struggled to write music in 2020- with the pandemic and….well, life happening, it was hard. The spark he once had when he first started writing and making music at 18 was gone. Kopta spent the better part of 2020 trying to figure out why that was- through trial and many errors, he almost gave up.
Then it happened.
One night while working at his dad’s gas station, the phrase “I miss the feeling of being in love” resulted from a memory about an unrequited crush Kopta had in high school. Kopta couldn’t get it out of his head. These words struck like lightning and eventually settled in the form of Heart Attack.
Heartattack, released [on] April 8th, is the first song from Kopta’s new era. The track is a soundscape built on 70’s rock with modern day pop influence. It fuses the real, complex feelings of heartbreak from an awkward period in Kopta’s life with the growth and understanding the now adult Kopta gained over the years. “It’s so relatable,” He said, “Everybody has that person that they never had their chance with.”
Though heartbreak is anything but a happy subject, Kopta is happy to tell the story of his “heart attack.” “Those young memories are always coming back to me, it’s exciting and inspiring to revisit them,” He said.
Now, with the release of Heart Attack, Kopta wants to make up for lost time. The pressure of wanting to be like his songwriting heroes drives him to be better each day. Kopta is his own biggest critic. “I feel that I haven’t written anything that can stand up to the greats yet,” He said. “ I feel like Ii’m getting closer with everything that I write and that’s what I strive to do, it’s a process and discipline is key.” This excitement pushes Kopta to go further than he had ever been before.
For Kopta, “Heart Attack” is only the beginning for what is to come.
“Heart Attack” will be available on Friday, April 8th, 2022 via Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, Google Play,YouTube, Amazon, Pandora, Deezer, Tidal, Napster, Shazam, Soundcloud, and more.
