Harry Kappen, an immensely talented songwriter from the Netherlands, proudly presents “Balance”, opening track of his new album “after the crossing”. This marks his first musical release since making the bold transition from Europe to America, reaching all the way to Mexico. The track is a vibrant homage to the classic sounds of the 70s and 80s, featuring an infectious groove and captivating vocal melodies. Out now!
Born in the city of Groningen, NTH, Harry Kappen is a true luminary in the music industry, brimming with an infectious enthusiasm for his craft. His journey is adorned with mesmerizing performances that have captivated audiences both nationally and internationally. With a deep connection to music studios, he expertly weaves magic into every note, leading him to create enthralling productions for Dutch radio and television. Additionally, his profound commitment to music therapy reflects his desire to touch lives and heal through the power of music.
As he eagerly shared today his much-anticipated new album “After the Crossing,” we’re thrilled reviewing the first track of this piece of art, created after embarking on his new life journey in Mexico City with his beloved Mexican wife. This album, a heartfelt testament to his growth since Covid, marks his fifth musical endeavor and is set to encompass ten deeply personal songs. Notably, it showcases today’s powerful and opening track “Balance.”
Balance confronts the widening division in our political, social, and cultural realms. With fervent lyricism, Kappen passionately advocates for the necessity of dialogue, the warmth of compassion, and the vital, yet frequently ignored, middle ground amidst polarized extremes. The track resonates with the album’s compelling plea: to ardently embrace nuance in a world that relentlessly insists on absolutes.
You can listen to the echoes of Kappen’s influences, ranging from the legendary David Bowie to the iconic Lennon & McCartney, and the haunting melodies of Thom Yorke, among many others. The result is a dazzling tapestry of sound, bursting with dynamic and playful rhythms that dance joyfully alongside Kappen’s irresistibly nostalgic melodies.
