London artist Ella Walker, who goes by the name WILDES, is set to release her new single "Without A Heart." This song is the third single from her eagerly awaited second album, "All We Do Is Feel," coming out on September 12, 2025. With this new track, WILDES continues to explore deep emotional themes like openness and heartbreak.
"Without A Heart" draws listeners into an atmosphere of delicate tension. Walker's voice is both touching and powerful, floating above a thoughtful and rich musical backdrop. It feels as if the song was created effortlessly, yet every detail has been carefully crafted. Walker worked alongside producer Elena Garcia on this track, and their collaboration shines through in the way each element of the song creates a sense of closeness and distance. The verses feel fragile, while a layered background vocal adds a touching quality, reflecting the feelings of coldness Walker experienced while writing it. This clever mix of warmth and detachment makes the song resonate on both personal and universal levels, offering a moving reflection on heartache that stays with you long after the music stops.
The accompanying music visualizer, directed by Brenda Huerta Rodríguez, matches the striking style of WILDES's previous works like "Wipe Away The Tears" and "All I Get." The visuals echo the song's themes of healing and emotional release, beautifully complementing the music. Walker explains that writing and producing this song helped her close the door on a particular heartbreak, making her feel free from that pain in a way that's both releasing and powerful. This sense of closure transforms the song into something more than just a form of catharsis, it allows listeners to experience both the heaviness of emotion and the relief of processing those feelings.
"Without A Heart" is a masterclass in emotional storytelling, blending precise production with genuine openness. It's a memorable track that lingers in your mind like a fleeting dream, reinforcing WILDES's reputation as a songwriter who isn't afraid to face the darker, more complicated sides of human emotion. This single is everything you could want, an artist expressing her most profound truths, resulting in something profoundly beautiful, even in the most painful moments.
