 Andrew " Druski " Scott 's production on Goldenheart incorporates synth pads , string settings , vintage keyboards , and varied beats . Music writers compare Scott 's partnership with Richard on the album to producer Brian Eno 's work with David Bowie during the latter 's " Berlin " period ; Jonathan Bogart of The Atlantic writes that Scott serves a similar role by " creating dense soundscapes for [ Richard 's ] often electronically altered voice to glide over , wash through , soar in , and pierce with sudden emotion . " The maximalist production of the opening song " In the Hearts Tonight " begins with 45 seconds of both staccato and tremolo strings , solo flute , and a ringing harpsichord line that coalesce with various self @-@ harmonising voices . The album 's closing title track , a meditation on nostalgia built around Claude Debussy 's " Clair de Lune " , is solely performed with electronically altered voice and piano . Richard 's singing veers from restraint to expressions of yearning , with a quavering timbre . " Return of the Queen " posits Richard 's virtuosic vocal undulations against trip hop and operatic flourishes .
