Morgan Harper-Jones released her newest single ‘Boombox’ earlier this month following the announcement of the February 23 release of her debut album Up To The Glass.

Boombox’s upbeat melody and catchy chorus are coupled with deep, melancholy lyrics about the pain of fighting for the attention of someone who doesn’t make you feel enough.

Harper-Jones said that the inspiration for Boombox came from a situationship she was in for three years where she felt the need to prove herself all the time. “I was giving them an ultimatum, but I was terrified that they’d say, ‘I’m sorry, I don’t choose you,’ because then I’d have to be the one to walk away,” she says.

Boombox takes us on a journey from grasping for the attention of someone who makes you feel invisible, “If you never notice me, will I disappear,” to demanding an answer, “Let me in, or let me go.”

“I believe that the definition of someone who is your person is someone who chooses you back. So, if they can’t choose you, no matter how much chemistry you have, they aren’t your person,” she says about moving on from a relationship that makes you feel unseen. Boombox serves as a reminder that letting go of someone who can’t give you what you need is painful, but eventually empowering.

Harper-Jones has the unique strength of being able to express vulnerability through her lyrics which transform into powerful, defiant and relatable songs. She sings with honesty and passion well beyond her years, promising a bright future for the rising star.

Harper-Jones’ music has blown up recently as her music was featured in Netflix’s international hit Love At First Sight, placing her in Shazam’s global Top 10. Her upcoming album deals with the all-familiar feeling that life passes us by too fast and that living in the moment can feel overwhelming. Up To The Glass is inspired by the feeling of wanting to slow down and be a part of the things around you.

There’s “no choice” but to continue to make music for Harper-Jones, “For my own sanity I’ll write to make sense of my little world.”
