Debuts are always a fragile, life-changing time for every artist and creative. That’s the moment when one finally lets in the outside world, allowing everyone to get a glimpse of their art. It takes courage and boldness, and it’s often a scary step. Well, Australian songstress Harlow Reign smashes it, unveiling her intro piece to the music industry, ‘Forbidden Forever’.
Built over a charming, elegant and eclectic arrangement, the record blends classic pop stylings with modern electronic tones, making for a piece that feels cinematic, poignant and empowering. Harlow Reign’s evocative vocals are particularly relevant, drenched in a filter which elevates them to luscious, dreamy goo, a perfect match for the track’s sonic livery.
Lyrically, it all evolves through meaningful storytelling, with the Melbourne newcomer embarking on a deep journey into human consciousness. Or, as she explains: “It delves into the most intense emotions and defies traditional concepts”. An alluring and relatable theme which we are confident will connect with a wide audience out there. It’s only the beginning, but the future, for Harlow Reign, appears rather bright.
