Women often have to shrink themselves, even today, to seem pleasurable to men. Harpa had a somewhat similar experience with overshadowing her love life to seem more presentable. But having done her homework behind the scenes, she came up with โShrinkโ to describe her entire journey of belittling her power to become an agreeable woman and how thatโs taken a turn since.
โShrinkโ by Harpa is the unlikeliest of rock music, with her orchestral arrangement and her tender soprano voice. Turning around the piano tune with the chugging and distorted guitars riffing against the soft bass tones, Harpa soars with a suspenseful tempo and a tone with much rises and falls swinging into a break section all with her tone. With every progressive chord in the sound, the music became more intense, and Harpaโs voice doubled down, always rising higher than her entire orchestra.
Harpa doesnโt manage to surprise us throughout the song, always coming with hooks and turns that fluctuate the tone and keep us anticipating a massive breakthrough.
I myself saw none of it coming. For example, her bridge breaks the rising action, and the intonation falls for Harpa to softly sing in a head voice: โHow small must I shrink to fit into your arms?โ And all of a sudden, she hits the crescendo with the line, โKiss your feet like you are my Savior,โ in the most gnarled tone, when her voice was diminished to nothing and a piano tune was prevailing for a second.
If you need a massive dose of empowerment and see how you have been wronging yourself to treat someone else better, Harpaโs here to tell you to stop with โShrink.โ It was released on March 24th. Show her some love!
