Timothy B. Schmit has released Second Single “Heartbeat”

Eagles’ Timothy B. Schmit has released his second single “Heartbeat,” taken from his upcoming album, Day by Day.

Schmit released the first single, “Simple Man,” last month. Day by Day marks as his seventh solo album and will be released on May 6. Although, the 74-year-old artist already had a lot of experiences in his music career, he still considers himself a “developing” songwriter.

On a press release, he said:

“I didn’t hit my stride as a songwriter during my younger years. I think I’m finally starting to get there now, and I’m in my 70s! It’s really nice. It makes me anxious to move forward and continue making music.”

He recently told UCR about taking a full advantage of the downtime brought by the pandemic in 2020:

“I would say close to half of this record was done during the COVID lockdown, ’cause I didn’t have anything else to do. So I was happy to just come to work and pound away, and it turned out to be a fairly prolific time.”

Schmit also explained his songwriting process saying:

“Honestly, I don’t have a clue as to how I do this. I just sit down and I see what happens. But after I get that clue, after I get an idea, then I really roll up my sleeves. But it’s a bit of a search sometimes.”

Schmit and the rest of the Eagles are currently on the road again with their Hotel California Tour, performing in the U.S. until May 25. Listen to “Heartbeat” below.
