Dutch singer, songwriter and music therapist Harry Kappen released his latest album Four a few months ago and now he continues to promote it with the release of highlight “Be Brave If You Can” as its next single. The track is a great example of Harry’s musical versatility as a songwriter, and shows a different side of him on a larger scale. Harry’s previous singles like “Break These Chains” showed off his political side, on “Be Brave If You Can” we get a glimpse of something softer and more introspective.
The latest track Harry chose to work with is a reflection on acceptance through quiet contemplation. Focused on emotional feelings of endurance, courage, and resiliency, “Be Brave If You Can” is a soothing and hopeful track filled with influences from Bowie in the 70s that works incredibly well within the album. The single is accompanied by a powerfully minimalist lyric video that illustrates the artist’s transparency and honesty through vivid portrayals of the journey he takes us on in the song.
Music is a powerful tool of healing, and no one knows this better than Harry. The multi-instrumentalist and musical therapist has a way of translating detailed experiences into something universally relatable and that is exactly the case with “Be Brave If You Can”. There is so much loving, hope and understanding on his new single you can’t help but feel its warm embrace all around you as you listen to it. Its message of acceptance is extremely valid but also allows room for those who aren’t there yet, and he volunteers to guide you through every step of the process.
“Be Brave If You Can” shows Harry at his most empathetic; it’s a giving song aimed at helping people through words and guitar with vulnerability. An excellent choice for the next single, the Baarn-based artist delivers impressively calming music through stillness and self-reflection.
A track about finding your own inner strength and in your own time, “Be Brave If You Can” stands as Harry at his absolute best: combining impeccable craftsmanship and great musical references with his deep knowledge of the human psyche gathered across years as a therapist that stirs you in the direction of self-healing, even if you’re not ready to take the first steps yet.
