"Heartbeat" from Slánú: Inside a Seven-Musician Track

Ajeet
Ajeet
Oct 8, 2026
4 min read

"Heartbeat" is a three-minute-and-twenty-six-second recording by the artist Ajeet, released in October 2026 from the album Slánú on Spirit Voyage Records. What the public record offers about the track is mostly its making: a list of performers, a single writer credited for both music and lyrics, and a production chain that stayed largely within a small circle of players. There is no transcript for the recording and no published lyric sheet in the material available here, so this piece looks at what the credits tell a listener and leaves the song's meaning to the song itself.

Read · 4 sections

Who actually plays on "Heartbeat"?

The credits list seven performers, and the instrumentation is what makes the record distinctive before a note is heard. Siobhan Moore takes lead vocals and also plays acoustic guitar, piano, bouzouki and percussion. Sam Killeen contributes electric guitar, bouzouki and acoustic guitar. Shannon Hayden supplies cello and violin, and Aisling Urwin plays harp and sings background vocals. Maneesh de Moor adds flute, piano and background vocals. Jared May holds the bass line, and Raffa Martinez covers percussion and background vocals.

Notice how much of the arrangement is shared. Moore, Killeen and de Moor each sit across several instruments, and two of the singers are also the people playing the bed under the voices. A track built this way tends to sound like one room rather than a stack of separate overdubs, because the same hands are handling melody, rhythm and harmony. That is a production choice, and the credit sheet is the evidence of it.

Who wrote the song and who shaped the sound?

Siobhan Moore is credited as composer and lyricist, and also as producer and sound engineer. That combination puts the writing, the arrangement decisions and the recording under one name. Mastering was handled separately by Piper Payne, a common division of labour that gives the finished mix a second set of ears before release.

The track's bouzouki and harp sit alongside the more conventional bass and acoustic guitar. Plucked strings, a harp and a flute give the recording a textured, folk-leaning palette, and the strings and background voices suggest a layered build rather than a sparse one. These are observations from the instrument list, not claims about the song's intent.

What does the release history tell us?

The copyright line reads ℗ 2026 Spirit Voyage Records, and the description notes that the track was provided to YouTube by Virgin Music Group. That chain, from an independent label to a major-group distribution partner, is now a common path for a small-circle recording to reach a wide audience. The upload carries a release date of October 9, 2026, and at the time of this writing it had 2,086 views, a modest figure for a newly released track.

For a listener, the practical takeaway is simple. If the musicians named above appear in your listening, the credits point you to their other work. If you are reading this to understand the song itself, the most useful step is to listen to it through once with the credits in front of you, and notice where the harp, the flute and the cello enter and leave.

Where to go from here

Listen to "Heartbeat" from Slánú with the lineup in mind, then return to the credits and trace each player's contributions across the arrangement. If you want to follow the work of the performers or the producer, the credits above are the starting points. Because no transcript or lyric text is available for this recording, any reading of the lyrics should come from the words themselves rather than from a secondhand summary.
