TRACK OF THE WEEK - 'I Wish You Were Here' by HRVY!

Track of the week is something new that is going to be started as a weekly occurrence! This weeks track of the week, is 'I Wish You Were Here' by HRVY.

HRVY, formally known as Harvey Cantwell is a 19 year old, British, pop musician signed with Alphadog Management and known for songs like ‘Personal’, ‘Talk To Ya’ and ‘Holiday’. Its no secret that, HRVY has been around for a couple of years, but through 2018 HRVY rose through the ranks. With millions of fans around the world, and his rather infectious pop tunes he has built up tonnes of views on YouTube.

From the simplicity of singing videos on Facebook, to touring the world with The Vamps. HRVY has really been getting his name out there, with his music; especially being able to collaborate with acts like Redfoo, Stylo G and Sigala on tracks. With influences like The Vamps and New Hope Club, HRVY has begun to get himself bigger and bigger, and getting the chance to have his newest debut release ‘I Wish You Were Here’ on Capital FM.

‘I Wish You Were Here’ is a highly energetic, dance ridden song. “Let me make it clear” that the audience member has no chance of not dancing, whilst listening to this song because of the repetitive drum beat, and the enjoyable rhythm. This song is the song that you can’t help but want to listen to, “I wish you were here” to listen to this and see how catchy this song really is. Although this song is highly enjoyable to the fans of HRVY and fans of pop music in general, this song is an extremely repetitive song and could potentially get old after a while, if the audience member overly listens. However, in no way is the fact this song is repetitive a reason to not like it, it is still a very fast paced, high beat song that regardless of its repetitiveness is still enjoyable, like most other pop songs.

 

Would I personally recommend this song or this artist?

Yes. Yes I would. HRVY is a very talented young artist, who has a lot of fun pop tunes to listen to and he is getting bigger and more well known. Which gives the implication that if you’re into pop music, he is more than worth the listen. Sure, primarily his audience are a young, female orientated audience, who like to scream in higher decibels than anyone’s ears should ever have to deal with, but his talent alone shows that he is a rising artist, worthy of growing his audience. Especially now with the influence of The Vamps on tour and New Hope Club, who were arguably in the exact same boat as HRVY is now, they grew bigger within a matter of months, thanks to The Vamps and now so will HRVY.
