SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 3:24 Min.
Performed by Phil Collins, this pop track was initially recorded for the 1989 film, Buster, which Collins also starred in. The song inspired a music video that was in regular rotation for months on VH1 after its release. Collins composed the tune with Lamont Dozier. “Two Hearts” notably appears on Collins’ 1998 Hits album.
REVIEW:
Upon first impression, it’s Collins at his exuberant best. The bubbly, retro-jazzy pop sound powering “Two Hearts” is an instant antidote for gloom. In that sense, it’s a deliberately opposite mood shift away from the downbeat “A Groovy Kind of Love,” which Collins also performed for Buster.
The song, style-wise, recalls a previous Collins hit: “You Can’t Hurry Love,” as far as its upbeat vibe grabbing listeners. Though the tune tends to overindulge on pop fizz, it’s still a refreshing option for ‘80s pop, soundtracks, or British-themed playlists
