In The Spotlight

Harper O’Neill – “Say My Name If You’re Lonely”

Dallas born and Nashville based, this singer and songwriter grew up in a house brimming with music. She played French horn and drums in her school’s marching band and learned guitar in her mid teens, after being gifted one signed by The Chicks. She studied communications at University, while still performing in bars at weekends. Her career started in earnest after moving to Nashville. Inspired by James Taylor, Bonnie Raitt and Lyle Lovett, she debuted with “No Longer Mine” in 2022.

Although she wrote this song just to create something fun, her new single’s lyrics chronicle the wanting of a lover in a relationship, which you know is not going to last. Starting enticingly slow with a mild guitar just to draw us in, it opens up in a delightful retro melodic merger of pop and country. With a peppy rhythm and a rousing electric guitar solo forging the 60s-touched melody, it’s her playful vocal strength that fuses all elements together into a happiness-inducing groove.
