With New Single "Tattoo My Heart", MASSEY Leaves a Permanent Mark

A Passionate Song About Love’s Deepest Imprints

By Whitney MillerPublished 10 months ago 3 min read

MASSEY’s most recent release entitled “Tattoo My Heart” isn’t just another love song. It's a slow-burning, cinematic meditation on love, loss and the kind of memories that refuse to fade.

This track pulls you into a hypnotic world of deep longing, with MASSEY’s signature blend of rock, neo-grunge and shadowy pop setting the tone for something both intimate and grand.

There’s an undeniable moodiness here, a sense of unresolved emotions that simmer just beneath the surface. Production is spacious and deliberate, each instrument placed with care to maximize its impact. Atmospheric synths swirl around deep, pulsing basslines while shimmering guitars echo in the background like distant memories. The entire track feels like it’s floating in some midnight haze; wistful, reflective and undeniably alive.

At the center of it all is MASSEY’s voice - a rich, soulful baritone that brings a weight of experience to every word.

There are hints of Jim Morrison’s poetic intensity, traces of Chris Isaak’s aching vulnerability, and even some of Bowie’s theatricality in how he phrases certain lines. Yet MASSEY never sounds like an imitation. His voice is distinct carrying the kind of conviction that makes you believe every lyric.

And those lyrics? They go deep.

The title itself, “Tattoo My Heart,” is the idea that love is something permanent, etched into your very being.

The idea of a past relationship lingering long after it’s ended isn’t new, but MASSEY approaches it with fresh intensity. And the lyrics throughout feel like they were pulled straight from the wreckage of a late-night confession.

One of the song’s most striking aspects is its exploration of tension and release. The verses are intimate, almost whispered. But as the chorus kicks in, the song opens up into something grander, with swelling instrumentation. This keeps the listener hooked as the song ebbs and flows between vulnerability and catharsis.

Instrumentally, “Tattoo My Heart” thrives on restraint. There are no over-the-top solos, no unnecessary flourishes. Just a carefully crafted sonic landscape that allows the emotion to breathe.

JoeBaby Michaels’ production is pristine, balancing raw authentic vibes with studio polish.

And this single marks another milestone for MASSEY, who has already surpassed close to 100,000 combined YouTube views across his first two video releases!

A self-described musical architect, MASSEY doesn’t play instruments but instead vocalizes melodies, rhythms, and instrumental parts to his collaborators - an approach reminiscent of James Brown’s intuitive, improvisational style. His songs brim with sharp hooks and poetic lyricism. Whether he’s exploring themes of love, loss, social justice, or self-discovery, MASSEY’s music is always deeply felt and passionately delivered.

Since launching his solo career, MASSEY has quickly gained momentum, with his first two video releases surpassing 100,000 combined views on YouTube.

With a vault of songs ready for release and a theatrical, larger-than-life presence, MASSEY is an artist who refuses to be boxed in.
