Jared Harper releases his highly anticipated single “About You” following his last release in October 2020. Working with English producer Josh Tyrrell, they expertly blend together alt-rock and western influences to make a multi-genre infused hit.
With 2020 being the year that it was, this single “About You” is more relevant now than when Jared initially wrote it. “About You” is a track for everyone who is missing someone, anyone, for any reason. The lyrics ride the listener through the open plains of Jared’s melodies, evoking a sense of distance in the atmosphere, all while still tracking closely on the heels of the one you are chasing. Jared’s new driving single has a weight that will draw you right into his gravitational pull.
If you’re not familiar with Jared, you will soon be acquainted with this rising musician. Born and raised in San Francisco, Jared was born deaf in his right ear, which would make pursuing a music career the unlikely choice, but he never thought twice about it. He is a self-taught singer and guitar player who has been compared to artists like Oasis, Julian Casablancas, and Alex Turner. Seeing The Arctic Monkeys live in concert was actually one of the driving motivations for Jared to pursue music as a career, hooked after feeling the intoxicating energy from the atmosphere. His first stage performance convinced him that this is where he wants to be.
You might also recognize Jared from your TV screen on Season 18 of The Voice. His acoustic-style of music is so infectious that everyone who listens to him gets attached almost immediately. His performance on The Voice is a testament to his vocal prowess, which has since garnered over 640,000 views on YouTube. His catchy melodies and rhythms and relatable lyrics are all that have helped him keep his audience attached to his music. Beyond all his artistic qualities, Jared’s personality is charming and witty.
Even though he makes modern pop music, he remains an old soul blending effortlessly with the youthfulness of modern music. Jared Harper’s lyrics are relatable and mostly contain everyday occurrences that everyone can relate to. His last single, If I Can’t Have You, received rave reviews from his audience, and he got quite a significant amount of international and national airplay for the song.
He enjoys interacting with his fans and sharing his music every chance he gets because he dreamt of being here many years ago. Not being able to connect with fans in live shows, Jared has done numerous livestreams, many of which benefiting causes and organizations that were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. As great as it is to connect, albeit virtually, with his audience, Jared can’t wait to get back out on the road and perform live.
Five years from now, Jared sees himself becoming a household name in music, topping the charts and going on world tours. He also nurses the ambition of hosting SNL someday. Until his dreams come to pass, sit back and take a listen to his new song “About You.”
