Harper Finn Marks New Chapter with Latest Single 'Doves'

Harper Finn unveils a new musical era with his dreamy new single "Doves". If the first taste is anything to go by, 2025 promises to be a defining year for the NYC-based, New Zealand-born artist. Listen HERE.

"Doves" follows on from his rapturously-received 2022 EP NEWCOMER and reintroduces him by way of nostalgic melody and instantly recognisable guitar riffs.

"With 'Doves', I wanted to capture a sense of spontaneity, that feeling of approaching a relationship with reckless abandon," Harper explains. "It's about finding those fleeting, beautiful moments in life when everything else feels uncertain."

"Doves", as well as the rest of the record, was recorded on a 16-track tape machine in the idyllic setting of Woodstock. Working alongside acclaimed artist/producer Sam Evian (Big Thief, Cass McCombs, Shura), Harper has crafted a collection of songs reflecting the complexities of love, loss, and the relentless pursuit of dreams.

The single marks a new chapter for Harper, transitioning from NEWCOMER which came after being named Breakthrough Artist of the Year in 2021. The EP spawned the Gold-certified single "Dance Away These Days" which has since garnered close to 5 million streams.

While the artistry of NEWCOMER remains intact, "Doves" signals a shift for Harper spurred on by a relocation to New York City. The city's fast-paced energy and ever-evolving social scene have provided him with endless inspiration.

"Living in New York has been life-changing," he says. "The city moves at such a fast pace"everything is constantly changing, and you have to learn to let go."

As he prepares to release his forthcoming debut album, it's clear that Harper Finn is poised to become one of the most exciting new voices in music.
