Alexz Johnson, a Canadian singer\/songwriter living in Brooklyn, N.Y. and currently on her first European tour, has released her second EP titled Heart. This EP holds four tracks called \u201cAmerican Dreamer,\u201d \u201cThis is Heartache,\u201d \u201cNothin\u2019 on Me\u201d and \u201cThank You for Breaking My Heart.\u201d<\/p>\n

Johnson\u2019s tunes on Heart are in no way disappointing. Whether you are listening to the emotional ballad \u201cNothin\u2019 on Me\u201d or tapping your foot to the chipper sound of \u201cThis is Heartache,\u201d Johnson\u2019s melodies and moving lyrics are sure to have you humming along. Even though this EP is a sneak peek of what is to come on her upcoming album later this year, the songs on Heart will have you addicted and anticipating more from her.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmerican Dreamer,\u201d the single released from Heart, is a cheerful tune that invites listeners to enjoy the simple things in life. Whether it\u2019s hanging out with your friends or watching your favorite show, \u201cAmerican Dreamer\u201d helps to influence you to go with the flow instead of worrying about the drama.<\/p>\n

Besides \u201cAmerican Dreamer,\u201d \u201cThis is Heartache\u201d is another song that leaves you in a good mood. Although Johnson sings about heartache, her lyrics imply that anyone can get over a breakup. Even though there can be reminders of your boyfriend or girlfriend, Johnson reminds those suffering that any breakup is possible to overcome.<\/p>\n

\u201cTroubles come\/Shadows strain\/But in the end\/It\u2019s got nothin\u2019 on me.\u201d These inspirational lyrics from Johnson\u2019s soulful hit \u201cNothin\u2019 on Me\u201d is one of the best songs on Heart and my personal favorite. For me, the opening of this track reminds me of an old church song that the deacons or elders would sing. If her vocals don\u2019t do enough to move you or have you think of church in any way, then her powerful lyrics should hit the spot. \u201cNothin\u2019 on Me\u201d seems to inspire listeners to triumph over any issue they may encounter. She comforts her fans with her voice, suggesting that trouble doesn\u2019t last always. Not only is her voice comforting, but the background vocals in \u201cNothin\u2019 on Me\u201d are too. They help to heighten Johnson\u2019s voice and the meaning of the song.<\/p>\n

The complete opposite of \u201cThis is Heartache,\u201d the last track on Heart, \u201cThank You for Breaking My Heart,\u201d is another soulful, bluesy song that listeners will enjoy. Like \u201cNothin\u2019 on Me,\u201d this is another piece where Johnson\u2019s vocals become a true powerhouse. With her vocals, she belts to her listeners that a devastating breakup can teach you a lot about the do\u2019s and don\u2019ts in a relationship. Furthermore, \u201cThank You For Breaking My Heart\u201d also has an old-school vibe to it and I think listeners will really feel Johnson\u2019s emotions in this one.<\/p>\n

Overall, Alexz Johnson\u2019s Heart EP gives listeners plenty of encouraging messages about enduring pain and finding the will and strength to overcome it.
