Hailing from Nottingham in the UK, Harpa has taken the music scene by storm with her powerful storytelling and anthemic rock sound. Fronting a four-piece band, this singer-songwriter has thrilled audiences with her magnetic stage presence and engaging performances. Influenced by a range of artists from Evanescence to Florence & the Machine, Harpa fuses a modern rock energy with compelling lyrics to craft an enthralling sonic offering.
Known for her alluring voice and profound lyricism, she’s been quick to earn a reputation as a must-watch artist in the UK rock scene. In May 2021, she unveiled her original sonic vision via her debut single “I’ve Been in Love Before” and has since shared multiple well-received releases over the last three years.
Earning critical acclaim, winning over fans and playing several live shows around Nottingham over the last year, she now brings us her latest release with her brand new single titled “What The Hell.” The new track builds on this momentum with a blues-infused rock sound that opens a new chapter in her musical journey.
Following on from her previous nu-metal-inspired track “Gone,” Harpa ventures into a more personal sphere with “What The Hell,” a song that frames the complexities of power dynamics and self-realisation. Thematically revolving around a woman coping with relationships in a world where she’s been conditioned to meet the expectations set by men; at first, she adopts a strategy of playing along, believing that she’s winning in a game where the rules were never made for her. But as she grows, she realises that this compliance has only served to give away her own power.
Jumping straight into a smooth groove of soft piano notes and lightly gritty guitar tones riding the tap of the drums, Harpa’s rich vocals glide in to spin soulful melodic leads above. Flowing with steady rhythm, the track builds to the chorus where punchy instrumentation backs Harpa’s commanding vocals as she lays down powerful hooks, resulting in an epic sound that’s energising and catchy in equal measure.
With stacked vocal layers and crunchy guitars, “What The Hell” delivers a bold and anthemic sound that puts Harpa’s superb songwriting and exquisite vocal performance on full display. Cut with slick lead guitar work and bright piano runs, it’s a sensational jam that’s sure to impress both new and existing fans alike as Harp continues to soar on her exciting artistic journey.
