“I wrote the initial idea while experimenting with some analog synths during lockdown,” recalls Ryan Chadwick, the onetime aerospace engineer-turned-producer known as OTR. “It wasn’t until my visit to London when JONES was able to add her unique charm that the track transformed into what it is today. It reminds me of the togetherness summer brings.”
The official video for “Heat of the Sun” follows a vibrant young woman with a joie de vivre that carries her through a series of events, eventually bringing her to the start of a pivotal new relationship. Throughout the day, she senses a mysterious, ethereal presence as time and reality blur in a world created by director Kevin Clark (Finneas, Between Friends).
