CAPYAC & Reggie Watts Share New Pop-House Earworm “Hearts On Loop”
January 24, 2025 BY Emma Orland
Berlin and Los Angeles-based surrealist dance band CAPYAC and internationally renowned musician, comedian, writer, and actor Reggie Watts are back with pop-house single “Hearts on Loop” that will make you rush to the dance floor. The track is the second single off their forthcoming collaborative EP Songs from Celestial City, due February 28 via Nettwerk.
“It was quite an incredible scene,” CAPYAC recalls of the day the track was made. “Reggie shows up in an extremely wide brimmed hat to an art warehouse, we had a little studio set up in an attic space in the back and we jammed for a couple hours. ‘Hearts on Loop’ was one of the ideas that came out of it.”
Songs from Celestial City, as its title suggests, is an expansive EP of iridescent, high-energy, soulful house tracks blending CAPYAC’s idiosyncratic, genre-bending production with buttery smooth, soulful vocals from Watts. The EP encapsulates the entire ethos of both artists perfectly; wanting to build genuine communities whilst radiating vitality, absurdism, and love. Having struck up an instant friendship after a chance meeting in 2023, and immediately bonding over a deep adoration and fascination of dance music and comedy, they decided to embark on a series of extended and largely improvised jam sessions, which would eventually form the groundwork for this new project.
Across Songs from Celestial City, CAPYAC and Watts dive into a wealth of dance music styles: from the big room pop house banger “Hearts on Loop” to the classy disco infusions of “Outer Wishes” to the skittering, luscious funk of “Dreamwalking” reminiscent of early Roosevelt, and the maximalism of its companion club mix, CAPYAC and Reggie Watts prove their mastery and versatility.
Further enhancing their musical chemistry, CAPYAC and Watts spent the beginning of December 2024 a mini European tour run, with stops in Bristol, Brighton, London and Berlin. Both artists will stay busy with live shows in 2025, with CAPYAC opening for Rubblebucket’s tour from March 27-April 19 and Watts kicking off a North American headline tour in early February that will run through early May.
