<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif">“Some Kind Of Heaven” is the first taste of new music from their forthcoming third studio album, scheduled for release later this year.
<b>Hurts </b>teamed up with long term collaborator, <b>Jonas Quant</b> to produce the new single, crafting a glorious slice of pop, layered with sublime vocals and an intensely catchy hook.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
