One of my first recommendations on this blog, in January 2017, was You Don’t Get It, the second single by then 22-year-old Londoner Harlea. That was the follow-up to her incredible debut Miss You.

Since then, things have been rather quiet around her, but she hasn’t sat still. Now living in Los Angeles and London in equal measure, Harlea collaborated with über hot producers/writers the Rock Mafia (who worked with Eminem, Demi Lovato, Justin Bieber, Green Day and others before), resulting in (as a press release formulates) ‘hook laden, driving anthemic tunes that are drenched in groove and attitude’.

Beautiful Mess is only Harlea’s third single, but she obviously has a bright future before her!
