El pasado musical de Kasey Smith se remonta hasta su abuielo, un famoso cantente irlandés. Kasey ha formado parte del grupo Wonderland, nominado a los premios de la música, pero después decidió mudarse a Nashville, Tennessee, para centrarse en su carrera en solitario. Regresó en 2013 a su ciudad natal para presentarse al concurso de preselección para Eurovisión quedando tercera. Tan solo un año después en ese mismo concurso ha sido la elegida para representar a su país con la canción Heartbeat.
VALORACIÓN / VIDEO / LETRA
Es esta una de esas canciones con las que uno conecta enseguida, que da la sensación de que ya la has escuchado antes porque tiene un ritmo muy familiar y pegadizo. La mezcla de la música pop con los sonidos celtas le sientan de maravilla a un estribillo inconmensurable.

White lightening upon us again
The wall is now paper thin
And soon the sun’s breaking in
Don’t you know, know…
How the world is not always true
Still my truth will remain in you
We’ll be braver and start anew
I know, know…
Oooh…
When the ocean’s way too deep
Keep your head high above the water
We can make it and break the border
Hold on to my heartbeat
My heartbeat, my heartbeat
Face the danger and face tomorrow
You’re a dreamer and you don’t know
That no story is carved in stone
Just hold on to my heartbeat
My heartbeat
The ground may be caving in
And some wounds they may never mend
But we’ll rise up and try again
I know, know…
Oooh…
When the shore gets hard to see
Keep your head high above the water
We can make it and break the border
Hold on to my heartbeat
My heartbeat, my heartbeat
Face the danger and face tomorrow
You’re a dreamer and you don’t know
That no story is carved in stone
Just hold on to my heartbeat
My heartbeat
Keep your head high above the water
We can make it and break the border
Hold on to my heartbeat
My heartbeat, my heartbeat
Face the danger and face tomorrow
You’re a dreamer and you don’t know
That no story is carved in stone
Just hold on to my heartbeat
My heartbeat
