*Working With Jason Farber*
Upon first impression, it is easy to see that promising new artist HARLOW just has that “special something” about her. Born and raised in Denver, Colorado, this magnetic singer is sure to strike you with her emotive style and warm undertones. Combine that with her spunky pop-driven tracks and you are sure to be adding HARLOW songs to your playlist on repeat. With an alluring authenticity and charming “old soul” personality it is plain to see why this artist has drawn some massive attention online, specifically on the app TikTok, where she has landed nearly 70k Followers and amassed over 1 million Likes on that platform alone. Prior to her success on the app she had been posting cover videos online and managed to catch the eye of some prominent Nashville executives and soon found herself working with Grammy-nominated writers and producers.

“I was really able to appreciate how big of an opportunity it was because I had lived in Nashville before and really struggled so it was cool to have that ‘wow I’ve come a long way’ moment” the artist shares, “and to see where I started – at 14 years old making writing trips here – to really coming into my own and finding my place is truly exciting" stated HARLOW.

Throughout high school she played at every county fair and talent show she could get her hands on, “I’ve tried out for every TV show, contest, you can think of. You name it, I’ve probably done it”, she stated lightheartedly. Eventually, she landed within a talent circuit that gave her an opportunity to do a few small tours. Traveling hours just to get to perform 3 or 4 songs, “It wasn’t glamorous but it gave me some invaluable experiences. I was singing country music to appease the crowds I was performing for and dealing with the stepping stones of getting started. But man, did I love every second of it”, the artist shares.

After graduating high school HARLOW moved to Nashville to attend Belmont University and after two years left to keep up with the demands of her music and acting endeavors. “I literally worked all the time. If I wasn’t at a writing session I was on set filming or in some sort of class trying to improve. But I was young and naive and found myself stuck in a contract. After trying to be the artist and person everyone else wanted me to be, I just lost who I was and got burnt out.” 

Weighing her options, the young artist chose to leave Nashville and open herself up to “anything life wanted to bring me” she says, “It really was the best thing I could do for myself and my sanity at the time. Stepping away from it all ended up being the most influential part of my journey as an artist because I finally found my voice. It was so liberating. And I knew if music was still in the cards for me I’d find my way back to it organically.”

HARLOW began posting videos online and gaining back her drive. This new momentum felt like a fresh start for the artist but something was missing. “Someone I trust very much advised me to pick a stage name and at first I was quite reluctant but”, the artist recalls, “I remember reading articles about Halsey and Lady Gaga - two of my biggest influences – and how they came up with their names because they needed to reinvent themselves. It gave them this escape alter ego that was cooler than who they were at the time. Someone new that they could be. It resonated with me so much. I knew that’s what I needed to do too.” 

Wanting to find something catchy yet simple, HARLOW began searching through family albums in hoping to find a cool name within her lineage. With nothing really catching her attention she turned to baby name websites which, “was actually quite fitting seeming how I was in the process of birthing a whole new me”, she wittingly stated, “I wrote the name down and thought absolutely nothing of it. But I knew it needed to feel real. So, I went down my list, said all the names out loud and it just stuck. It was the one.” Ironically, the singer would later go on to discover that Harlow is in fact the name of her grandmothers’ closest cousin, hence, fulfilling her original desire to have a name derived from her family line.

HARLOW continues to grow rapidly online. Released on October 30th, 2020, “Haunted Houses” a vibey track that she states is, “all about living with the memories that haunt us – but in a lighthearted way”. Driven by an airy, heartfelt, dance beat the lyrics talk about dealing with the ghosts of your past and having them constantly pop out at you - but you know you’re the one that invited them in. HARLOW says her music is an extension of that same authentic approach she uses when creating videos– “I like to take the experiences that we all go through and put a twist on it. Like how can I make this unique and contradicting? How can I write about this experience from an interesting point of view so the listener can go ‘oh I see what you did there.’”

With more songs and an EP set to release in the near future HARLOW is unapologetically charging upon the music scene saying,” I’ve never been more ready and excited to share a project in my life! I’m so proud of these songs. I look forward to enjoying them with the rest of the world!”. As her momentum builds HARLOW intends to continue honing in on her sound. Many listeners comparing her music to soulful vocalists like Adele and Lauren Daigle as well as pop powerhouses like Halsey and Taylor Swift place HARLOW in a great position and advantageously set her trajectory up for stardom.
