"Heartbeat" is the title of the new single by american rock band from Denver, Colorado The Fray. The song has been released a few days ago, and you can stream it at the band's website now. I have to say that this is the kind of song that I would have welcomed on the new Coldplay album. But later of this.

The Fray's new album, to be released on February, 7th 2012, is named "Scars And Stories", after a B-side that did not make it onto the new record. For their third studio album, The Fray chose to change producer, switching from the Aaron Johnson/Mike Flynn duo to the superstar Brendan O'Brien.

During a recent interview, the band revealed that they used part of the album's budget to travel and see the world before recording "Scars And Stories". For instance, "Heartbeat" was inspired by a trip to Rwanda, and the tracks "Munich" and "Rainy Zurich" were inspired by their journey to those european locations.
