HARPER SHARES NEW SINGLE I HOPE YOU CHOKE

9th February 2024 0 By Jon Deaux

HARPER, the incredible 12-year-old vocalist who took the internet by storm with her mind-blowing cover of Spiritbox’s Holy Roller and captured the hearts of millions as a contestant on America’s Got Talent, has today unveiled her latest track.

Defiant new single I Hope You Choke is a cathartic blend of rage and frustration; a potent cocktail of everything metal that HARPER loves. Fans can hope to see it performed live when HARPER makes her Download Festival debut this June, when she’ll become the youngest artist ever to perform there. Not bad for her first set ever!

Including clinching over 3 million Spotify streams, HARPER closed out a tremendous 2023 with a blistering cover of Bring Me The Horizon‘s smash hit Chelsea Smile and a fun collab with Nik Nocturnal on track Ghost Sphere. Watch HARPER‘s official video for Chelsea Smile HERE, with more than 376k YouTube views already.

Prior to that, HARPER shared electrifying new single Weight Of The World, a bonafide metalcore banger. Written by Leo Valeri, guitarist/producer of deathcore heavyweights Brand Of Sacrifice, it features a guest vocal from Dave Stephens (We Came As Romans). Stream it HERE. Watch the video, now closing on 1 million YouTube views, HERE. HARPER also posted a “one take” video for the track in November HERE.

In between official single releases and homework, HARPER has been having fun unveiling surprise cover tracks on her YouTube channel, picking a range of diverse artists from Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran to Knocked Loose, Bad Omens, and Architects! She also teamed up with vocalist Kasey Karlsen (Nita Strauss, Deadlands) for a duet on an I Prevail track which has garnered more than 2.3 million views. Check out those videos HERE and stay tuned for more from HARPER soon.
