Pentatonix – Heaven On Earth
Continuing to push their creative boundaries, three-time GRAMMY® Award-winning and Daytime EMMY® Award-nominated vocal quintet Pentatonix excitedly share their first new non-holiday original single in five years “Heaven On Earth,” out now via Republic Records.
The group enlisted the talents of none other than GRAMMY® Award-winning mega-producer Poo Bear [Justin Bieber, Mariah Carey] to bring the song to life. The result is both utterly fresh and classic Pentatonix all at once, amplifying the collective’s world-renowned harmonies over a rich soundscape architected by one of pop music’s finest hitmakers. Marking a bold evolution, the band steps beyond their signature a cappella foundation and embraces a fully realized pop production, expanding their sound in ways fans have never heard before.
The five-piece reach new heights with “Heaven On Earth.” Working closely with Poo Bear in the studio, they tapped into another facet of their sound. He elicited bold and intentional performances from the vocalists with the intimacy intact. As such, the single projects their instantly recognizable full-bodied vocals in wide-screen on a stadium-sized pop anthem.
Simultaneously, it trumpets a positive message, favoring love, gratitude, and presence in the moment over unrest and unease. The central lyric “Never thought you’d be down here” recognizes the possibility for purity in the face of chaos. Ultimately, “Heaven On Earth” represents what the group agrees is the “safest space we’ve ever made.”
Vocalist Mitch Grassi commented, “Working with Poo Bear is an eye-opening experience. He’s a master musician and knows how to get the best out of a vocalist. ‘Heaven On Earth’ is such a beautiful, heartfelt song, and, in collaborating with Poo Bear, we were all able to imbue our performances with smoky sultriness, and an air of reflective gratitude for the loved one we praise through the lyrics.”
Poo Bear said, “I’m absolutely thrilled for Pentatonix to be releasing ‘Heaven On Earth.’ This song is extremely special to me and it’s an honor for Pentatonix to call it their own. Looking forward to the world receiving it!!! HBD!!!”
