"Rediscover Lou Reed's song 'The Power of the Heart,' revisited by Alex Henry Foster…a dreamlike and intense cover..." lauds Rolling Stone (FR), as Louder calls the track "a stunning emotional tour-de-force" and "essential listening." Visions (DE) believes that Foster's interpretation of the song "is more accessible, but with a sense of drama and always the same touching depth as Reed's original" while Soundvapors says, "Out front is the soothing and distinctive voice of Alex Henry Foster. Standing behind him is the superb and powerful music. Together these two forces combine to give the listener an almost ethereal experience."

Numerous Spotify playlists have also welcomed the release of "The Power of the Heart." The Eh! List — by Exclaim! ("The best new songs from Canadian artists"), Indie Chill, Folk//Indie and many more have added the single. The Shoegaze/Dream-pop Flavor playlist curator says, "There's this smooth and starry skies to the instrumentals that just pulls me in. All the noise here is just beautiful, it's heartwarming, it's familiar."

Following the acclaim and playlist adds, Foster is set to release his "The Power of the Heart" concept music video May 22 along with a live performance of the song. More details on this livestream event can be found at https://alexhenryfoster.com/the-power-of-the-heart-landing-page/.

"I've been a fan of Lou Reed's music ever since I found that strange-sounding LP titled Transformer in the prime section of my father's vinyl collection when I was a kid," shares Foster. "It took me years, streaming into the bleakest turbulences of my own inner voyage, to envision the prospect of making a monument of sincerity such as 'The Power of the Heart' mine."
