“Love Is Going” is an emotive pop success from Wesley Harper, an artist from Catskill, NY. He describes the track as a collection of various inspirations: “‘Love Is Going’ combines my love of a good pop chorus with my love of the fretless bass playing on Graceland with my love of drum machine sounds and musical collage.”
The spacious synth pad and pit-patter rhythms complement a serene vocal immersion. “That’s where love is going,” Harper lets out as a compelling escalation begins, furthered by atmospheric guitar grumbles as the percussion assumes an enjoyably whooshing effect. “Try to recognize the changes now,” the vocals aspire, leading into another stirring title-touting hook.
A particularly heady shift takes place in the approach to the three-minute turn, as trickling piano and cavernous rhythms strut a darker intrigue. Harper’s vocal re-emergence and spacey synths bring back to a lusher, heartfelt range before a fantastic conclusion with a fretless bass and piano reprisal; “Love Is Going” succeeds thoroughly, with multiple gripping moments and an impressive overall production.
“Love Is Going” represents the second single off Harper’s upcoming album, FUN PAIN.
