Today not only heralds a new album announcement from Atlanta-based Becca Harvey, the musician behind girlpuppy, but it also heralds the release of her latest single, ‘I Just Do!’. The armoury of her upcoming album ‘Sweetness’, which is set to be released on 28th March via Captured Tracks, has undoubtedly been bolstered by a further instalment of dizzyingly sweet vocals and feedback-twinged guitars.

With fervent bursts of dynamism, ‘I Just Do!’ is a single which operates as an audible mirror for many a listener. Harvey’s lyrics are littered with reminiscent descriptions of a love that is laden with trials and tribulations, which serve to craft what can only be christened as a panoramic view of heartache. Such lyrics, when effectively layered with twin-tipped upsurges of guitar and 90s-esque snare kicks, have successfully resulted in a contemporary soundtrack for an impending heartbreak.

In reference to the origin of the single, Harvey transparently stated that:

I wrote this song after spending 6 days in Los Angeles with a guy I had an all consuming crush on. It’s just about that feeling of knowing you’re wasting your time by developing feelings for someone who is completely emotionally unavailable, but you do it anyway because it feels good. I wrote this entire song and then recorded a voice note of me singing it acapella in my bathtub (where I get lots of inspiration for songs). I brought it to Alex [Farrar] and he built the instruments around the melody I wrote and it turned out so much fun. This is definitely gonna be my favorite song to play on tour.

‘I Just Do!’ is a single that glows effervescently with a feeling of unapologetic and unrequited love. It describes a situation which can only be characterised by its ever-imminent finality and the festering futility of falling for someone emotionally unavailable. ‘I Just Do!’ is an intimately immersive envelopment from girlpuppy, and one which will be related to thousands of times over.

Becca Harvey’s most ambitious work to date, Sweetness, blends her captivating vocals with powerful, rock-infused instrumentation. The album explores a striking contrast: its title, a personal nickname, evokes a tender warmth, while the songs themselves confront the bittersweet complexities of heartbreak. Drawing inspiration from yearly beach vacations with her former partner and her Piscean affinity for water, the album’s imagery weaves these elements together, creating a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the ebb and flow of change.
