by | May 31, 2024

Harleymoon Kemp’s recent single What Good Looks Like introduced the singer-songwriter to new audiences. It saw her hit one of the biggest stages of her career as she hosted and performed on the main stage at the Mayor of London’s huge St. George’s Day festival in Trafalgar SquareBut What Good Looks Like was just the start of more to come, with Harleymoon Kemp releasing her eagerly anticipated debut EP Lone Ranger. It’s accompanied by the EP’s new single and title track.

Kemp says: “The EP is just more encounters that I hope everyone makes their own. Lone Ranger was written after a one night crush with a total cowboy. Faith In You was about really feeling safe in your home with your friend, lover or family and it’s a duet with incredible Alex Francis who I met in Nashville on a writing camp, he’s also James Bay’s brother and has that indie crunchy beautiful tone in his voice. America was written on a female writing camp and produced in Nashville.. so great for anyone digging country cross over sounds!

After What Good Looks Like provides a classy introduction to the EP, Lone Ranger sees Kemp raise the temperature with a stomping, sassy strut full of dancefloor fun and self-empowerment. While her heartfelt, authentic storytelling is her key strength throughout the set, it also displays her versatility. The warm production of Faith In You feels as natural as if you’re witnessing Harleymoon’s live band, while her already vivacious voice is complemented by male vocal harmonies courtesy of Alex Francis. Its final song America brings the energy back, this time with a luminous summer-pop edge as she uses the American dream as a metaphor for the potential of a new love.

Check out the video for Lone Ranger below:

Harleymoon Kemp wrote or co-wrote all four songs, drawing on a wealth of personal experiences to capture episodic chapters of moments in her life that will speak to fans caught in the middle of similar situations. Collectively she adds a Brit flavour to the broad international appeal of some of her biggest influences such as Maren Morris, Kacey Musgraves, Ashley McBride, Lainey Wilson, LeAnn Rimes and Alanis Morrissette. Her collaborators on the EP include Charlie T (Calum Scott, Jax Jones), Barnabas Shaw (Twinnie, Megan McKenna), Adrian Hall (Goldfrapp, All Saints), Michelle Leonard (AURORA, Robin Schulz), Jess Sharman (Gabrielle Aplin, Ward Thomas) and fellow solo artist Loren.

The Lone Ranger represents Kemp’s first body of work after a series of independently released singles which started with the UK Country Music #1 Space. Her songs have continued to connect ever since, with the likes of Fast Fwd, He Ain’t You and She Looks Like Me as she performed at the Isle of Wight and Brighton Pride as well as earning airplay at BBC and Absolute Country plus key playlists at Spotify, Apple Music and Tidal.

Based in London but regularly visiting Nashville for sessions, Harleymoon has felt compelled to make music since childhood. It was only natural given her family: her father is actor and Spandau Ballet legend Martin Kemp, her mother is Shirlie Kemp of Pepsie & Shirlie and Wham!, and the TV presenter / recent BRIT Award host Roman Kemp is her brother.

Wyatt Flores Brings Honest Heart And Sharp Style To London’s Roundhouse

On a crisp October night at London’s Roundhouse, Wyatt Flores stepped onto the stage to a roaring crowd, his name echoing around the vaulted room with a force that surprised even him. Supporting 49 Winchester on their UK run, the Oklahoma-born singer-songwriter might technically have been the opener, but from the reaction that greeted him, it was clear many had come just as much for Wyatt.
