Harbor Day | “Looks”, Tranquil, Indie Vibe
Harbor Day brings a modern indie twist to the hip-hop world with his single “Looks.” The track holds a psychedelic feel accompanied by trippy vocals edits and an upbeat tempo that you just wanna vibe to.
Based in Bellingham, Washington, Harbor Day was inspired to create “Looks” based on his love for the outdoors.
‘Looks’ is all about enjoying time in the outdoors and understanding capitalist and anti-environmentalist efforts that are degrading nature over time – Harbor Day.
Although the subject matter is rather heavy, the beat and Harbor Day’s vocals are the complete opposite. That said, “Looks” transports you into a feel-good state almost immediately. The tempo and the artist’s soothing vocals simply flood the speakers with positive energy.
Regarding the beat, “Looks” eases you into the up-tempo rhythm with a gradual transition at the song’s beginning. After that, an indie-like rhythm flows with ease through the speakers. As the song progresses, you notice the additional elements one by one, each more unique and unexpected than the last.
Overall, the rhythm featured in “Looks” is going to elevate your spirits. At Rap Fiesta, we feel the song is the perfect summer track to play while chilling outside.
Adding to the moving influence of the song are Harbor Day’s vocals. The musician hits you right from the jump with wavy vocal edits that soothe your aural senses. Throughout “Looks,” Harbor Day rides the beat’s energy in perfect harmony. On top of that, the musician showcases an impressive vocal range and various flows throughout the track. But no matter his approach, his flow is always elite, matching the beat’s energy.
The result? An upbeat track accompanied by tranquil vocals that offer an unexplainable soothing sensation. What’s more impressive about “Looks” is that Harbor Day wrote, mixed, produced, and mastered the song all by himself. In fact, the musician does this for all his songs, which he records in his garden shed at his house.
“Harbor Day” came about because of all the times I’d go to the waterfront to clear my head. When I started making music, my main goal was to create pieces of work where I could express myself with the same comfort as when I was by the ocean – Harbor Day, on the origin of his stage name.
Harbor Day has been creating music since 2014. But only began sharing his talents with the public in 2018. So, the artist has had a ton of practice perfecting his sound, which is made abundantly clear in “Looks.”
Make sure you give Harbor Day a follow on Instagram because the musician has more in store for his fans. That said, a new single entitled “Midway” is set to be released on May 27. And if it’s anything like “Looks,” you know it’s going to be a vibe you need to experience.
“Looks” has already racked up over 70,000 streams on Spotify alone. You don’t want to pass up on Harbor Day. His laidback vibe pours through the speakers, providing a light, tranquil touch to an indie/hip-hop blend.
