Harlow Reign unveils her second original single, “Long Way Home”, a powerful ode to resilience and rediscovery. Seamlessly fusing the familiarity of a time-worn classic with boldness in her voice, here’s a story of hoping and finding light in the bleakest of times because of something or someone special.
The opening chords are instantly recognisable, a kind of nostalgia sampled from one of Fleetwood Mac’s most iconic songs: “Go Your Own Way.” Comfortable retro flows in seamlessly with Harlow’s to create a sound both comforting and refreshingly new.
The star of this show is Harlow Reign’s voice. Her powerhouse vocals soar effortlessly, carrying the emotive weight of the lyrics with authenticity and grace. Layered with stunning harmonies, her performance has depth and texture, making it impossible not to feel the raw emotion behind every note.
But even striking is the instrumentation on this track: a spangling piano line threads through the song, adding both elegance and class while vibrant drums set a rhythm that begs for movement, and whether you’re dancing wild and barefoot in your front room or cruising down the highway with the windows down, “Long Way Home” is most definitely the soundtrack to letting loose and embracing freedom.
Meet Harlow Reign, a singer-songwriter from Melbourne, Australia who has grown up charming and endearing herself to any audience who will have her since she was three years old. Drawing deeply from Evanescence, Paramore, and Killing Heidi, it isn’t surprising to hear passion unleashed in her own powerful vocals through emotive storytelling. “Long Way Home” sees her tap into those influences to craft something all her own.
What really makes “Long Way Home” special, though, is in how it’s universal in approach; it’s a song of the journey home, even metaphorically, back inside with the help of love, connection, and strength. Echoes of nostalgia mingled with innovative insight into the future make this track relate to any soul out there.
Every time Harlow Reign steps deeper into the spotlight, “Long Way Home” really does sound like a triumphant declaration and a reminder that even though the way may be long and the path tortuous, it’s the companionship and memories we gather along our ways that make the journey worth going through.
So turn it up; let Harlow Reign take you on that trip-just that one that is well worth your time. Add it to your playlists, add it to your road trips, and add it to your heart.
