Review: Harry Kaplan Reminds us Change Starts Within with Empowering new single "The Freedom Inside"
Dutch musician, multi-instrumentalist, and music therapist Harry Kappen is known for making bold political statements and raising awareness on global issues through his music. While his previous music often calls for large-scale global change, his latest single “The Freedom Inside” is a gentle reminder for people to start a positive change from within themselves. Released on March 1st, 2023, the new single reached the UK iTunes Pop Songs chart at #52. The single teases the full-length album that fans have been waiting for since Harry's 2022 album release, “Escape,” which included the Spotify hit "WarGames" earning over 50K streams.
"The Freedom Inside" is a simple, yet provoking song. Opening with a slide guitar pickup and followed by Harry's storytelling voice and finger-style guitar playing, the single has a timeless sound that will intrigue listeners of any genre. Harry's voice carries wisdom, which can be heard in his humble lines, "I'm just playing my guitar/And I think it all over/And I realize the changes start inside." Harry's message is empowering and uniting as he realizes, we can all make a difference in the world if we start with ourselves first. Rather than pointing fingers and passing blame, Harry reassures us, "The freedom's inside us/It's got to come out." Harry understands the music is a powerful tool for change, and song's message, sound, and lyricism makes this single a must-listen.
