Aloha Heart is a 2023 Hallmark Channel romantic comedy set in Hawaii, starring Taylor Cole and Kanoa Goo. Like most Hallmark Channel originals, it pairs a commissioned background score with island-flavored, Hawaiian-inspired music rather than a chart-style pop soundtrack.
Hallmark has not issued a standalone commercial soundtrack album for Aloha Heart, so this guide focuses on what is verifiable — the film’s musical style, its creative team, the cast, and where to watch — rather than an unconfirmed tracklist.
Released during Hallmark’s summer slate, Aloha Heart is a fish-out-of-water romance: a mainland conservationist arrives in Hawaii for a friend’s wedding and is drawn into helping a local hotel manager save his family’s property — and, of course, into a romance set against the islands.

The Music & Hawaiian Sound
Aloha Heart uses music to sell its tropical setting: gentle, ukulele- and slack-key-tinged underscore, plus light island-pop cues that play under the romance between conservationist heroine (Taylor Cole) and a local hotel manager (Kanoa Goo).
Because Hallmark movies are produced for broadcast rather than for a music release, individual licensed song credits are not officially documented in a published album. We have chosen not to print an unverified tracklist; if Hallmark issues official music credits, this guide will be updated.
Stylistically, that means the soundtrack draws on the textures audiences associate with Hawaiian music: the warm, open tunings of slack-key (kī hōʻalu) guitar, the bright voice of the ʻukulele, and breezy contemporary island-pop. These elements function as scene-setting rather than as a marketed song list.
Lead Taylor Cole is a familiar face to Hallmark viewers from titles such as One Winter Weekend and the Wedding March films, while Kanoa Goo has appeared in series including Grey’s Anatomy and 9-1-1. Their pairing anchors the film’s easygoing, music-forward tone.
