Blending elements of neo-soul, folk, old-time blues and pop, Justin has the guts of Ray LaMontagne and the soul of Lauryn Hill.
This guitar slinging aficionado has the street smarts of an urban swinger and the heart-bending soul of a gospel preacher, and is adept at blending a dark, bluesy Americana vibe with warm, acoustic soul where bits of old folk music and flamenco tunes swirl in and out of earshot.
During his short career, Justin has already snagged stage time with John Cale, Crowded House, Ziggy Marley, Sam Roberts, Jully Black and Xavier Rudd.
"In his debut album "Holly", Justin Nozuka has created eleven impressive pieces of thoughtful acoustic-soul. Filled with understated melodies, minimal production and an interesting, sometimes dark take on song-craft...4 Stars." -- BBC
"Superior acoustic soul. .4 Stars." -- Q Magazine, UK
"...Nozuka is producing material that is unlike any other singer songwriters - and consequently is beyond genre definition. Largely, it is one man and his faithful guitar - but with a voice like his, there really is no need for any other instrumentation. In truth it would only get in the way. 4 Stars." -- Belfast Daily Telegraph
"Nozuka seemed very modest, but there was absolutely no reason. He had every eye on him and it was nearly impossible to look away. Every song seemed to outdo the one before it, and when he quietly walked off, we were all aching for more." --Chartattack.com
Years Active: 2006 – present
My Heart Is Yours
Justin Nozuka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The grass and trees were green
Flowers began growing, the birds were sweetly singing
Stronger and much deeper now than ever
Lying by your side, I never feel this right
I know it's real this time
'Cause my heart is yours
My heart is
The sun falls behind the greatest mountain
And every moment passing by is a new color in the sky
Darling, close your eyes
And now we are flying, we are flying
Over the mountain to follow the sun
And back to the river when the evening has won
'Cause my heart is yours
My heart is, my heart is yours
My heart
Oh lover, when you look at me
It hits me just like a summer breeze
My heart
Hold me close and underneath the moonlight melody
Darling, dance with me
Oh darling, dance with me
Oh darling, dance with me, hey
Darling like the morning light
Everything will be alright (yeah, yeah)
Everything will be alright
My heart is yours
Darling like the morning light (alright)
Everything will be alright (ooh baby)
Everything will be alright
My heart is yours
Darling like the morning light
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright, my heart is yours
'Cause my heart is yours
In the morning, in the morning, in the morning, in the morning
Everything will be alright (ooh baby)
Darling like the morning light
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
My heart is yours
The song 'My Heart Is Yours' by Justin Nozuka tells a story of a love that is in its purest form. The singer wakes up beside a river and describes the picturesque beauty around him. He feels a deep connection with nature and his lover lying beside him. He expresses a sense of feeling more alive than ever before. The chorus line "My heart is yours" acts as a declaration of love and commitment to his partner, which reaffirms that this time, it is real.
The second verse talks about how everything changes as the day progresses. The sky changes its colors and forms a beautiful canvas with each passing moment. He urges his lover to close her eyes and imagine them flying over the same mountain they watched the sunset on. The image of flying, painted with the emotions of being free and soaring over everything else, represents the purity of their love. The song ends with him proclaiming that everything will be alright, and his heart belongs to his lover.
The song is a beautiful representation of a pure, unconditional love that the singer has for his partner. It is not fueled by passion or desire but is rooted in deep companionship and a sense of contentment. The singer's soulful voice in combination with the poetic lyrics and the gentle strumming of the guitar creates a beautiful atmosphere that makes this song one of the most romantic and heartfelt tracks in modern music.

One of the most underrated artists ever.
jaytotheell
this is so true.
Rai Shauna Martin
When I listen to him, I think of him as my little secret, because not everyone knows about him, he isn't constantly in your face so you can't get sick of him. I hope he never goes mainstream, they'll change his style and just ruin his music. He's good where he is. :3
Samantha Pearl
so underrated but better than being washed out and mainstream! better to remain a true artist, not a puppet. love him
