HRVY on how he stepped out and took control on new single I Wish I Could Hate You: "I've been scared to do this...but you have to run with it"
officialcharts.comTaking control - proper control - of your career and the music you make is a harder thing than most people would think. Case in-point, British pop idol HRVY (real name Harvey Cantwell), who released several high-throttle teeny-bopper bops and dance bangers throughout his teenagers years, but has now graduated to becoming not just a pop star, but a songwriter in his own right.
I Wish I Could Hate You (out now via BMG) is the first song HRVY has written himself, and by that we mean, just himself. Coming with production from Noah Terefe and Juice Bangers, the track starts off a crunchy, Weeknd-esque 80s inspired synth track, before morphing into a more acoustic-tinged confessional.
