Harry Kappen drops a new single, "Courage," a love letter to change, commitment, and the courage to start over. His genre-bending sound has been described as a personal journey, blending Western underground pop with muted jazzy and Latin influences.
Love and transformation are at the center of "Courage." Based on his life experiences, Kappen purposefully taps into the emotions of separating from everything familiar as he prepares to embark on a new journey with his Mexican wife. The song’s second verse, “And the eagle opens its wings,” is a tribute to Mexico and an embodiment of a metaphorical leap into the unknown.
The song "Courage" has a warmth to it that is fitting for such a heartfelt message. The instrumentation dances effortlessly between airy pop melodies and full, rhythmic undercurrents, a musical mirror that reflects the balance of nostalgia and excitement at play. Kappen’s vocals float effortlessly, singing every word with feeling, so you can’t help but feel the weight of his emotions.
For anyone teetering on the brink of transformation, "Courage" is a devotional anthem to fearlessness. Harry Kappen's newest release will be your soundtrack for the leap if you’re about to get on the road or need a reminder that love is a risk worth taking.
