Heart (stylized as ♡) is the second extended play (EP) by the American musician Jane Remover. It was released without prior announcement by DeadAir Records on December 5, 2025. It is a 6-track EP that contains Remover's two double-singles from 2024 with two additional tracks. The name of the album is represented in writing and on the cover as an ideogram of a heart (♡), instead of the word in Latin script.

Background and release

On July 31, 2024, Jane Remover released two songs: "Flash in the Pan" and "Dream Sequence".[2] These were followed by "Magic I Want U" and "How to Teleport" on September 4, 2024.[3] These songs were intended for a full-length album scrapped by Remover; they stated it would have turned them into the "main pop girl", which they did not want.[4] Throughout 2025, Remover released the albums Ghostholding (under the alias Venturing) and Revengeseekerz;[5][6] the latter of which they supported with a tour.[7]

On December 2, 2025, Remover announced their new single, "So What?", to release on Friday.[8] On December 5, 2025, it was released as an EP by DeadAir Records without prior announcement,[9][10] containing four singles Remover released in 2024 along with two new additional tracks "So What?" and "Music Baby".[11] In a press release, Remover described the EP as "dancing with tears in your eyes" while drunk with friends "on a summer night".[11] The name of the album is represented in writing and on the cover as an ideogram of a heart (♡), instead of the word in the Latin script.[12]

Composition

Heart is an R&B, pop, and experimental EP[13] that distances from the "rage-dance bombast" of Revengeseekerz and "guitar drones" of Ghostholding.[14] More than half of the EP's tracks are fixed versions of old materials, including "Magic I Want U", "Flash in the Pan", and an extended "How to Teleport".[13] Outside of that, the only modifications were a replaced sample and a "tiny coda".[13]

Critical reception

Heart received critical acclaim from music critics. Benny Sum of Pitchfork rated the EP 7.6/10, describing it as "full of delicious moments" that bite "into a rich chocolate-covered strawberry".[13]

Matt Mitchell of Paste Magazine ranked the EP at number five on "the 15 best EPs of 2025".[14]

All tracks are written and produced by Jane Remover, excluding "Flash in the Pan" and "Dream Sequence", co-produced by Heba Kadry.
