HEADLINE SHOW ON 17TH MARCH @ NOTTING HILL ARTS CLUB 
Harvey Jay Dodgson has returned with euphoric new single 'For The Love Of It' - listen here.

Brimming with youthful exuberance, it marries the most infectious elements of The Libertines, Vampire Weekend, Tom Grennan and Ten Tonnes, weaving assured guitar riffs with punchy percussion throughout its almost 3 minutes.

Speaking about the song Harvey says, “‘For The Love Of It’ is a statement about how music should be created and played … for the love of it. Not following a trend, being able to connect with others, not forcing the art for the primary motive of money. The production portrays this. Playful melodies, groups of chanting teens, rough around the edges as a whole - a song to shout out together with your mates.  My painting of why I make music for the love of it.’’

The new single also comes after recently being snapped up by Paradigm booking agency for live shows. Now represented by Alex Hardee (Liam Gallagher, Sia, Clean Bandit), Harvey will play a headline show in London on 17th March at the prestigious Notting Hill Arts Club. 

Freshly tipped by This Feeling and XS Manchester as One To Watch in 2022, 'For The Love Of It' is another taste of what's to come from the uber talented singer-songwriter’s debut EP, due for release this spring.  Bringing together raw lyrical work with driving instrumentation, it effortlessly showcases why the 20 year old is onto such big things.

Hailing from Portsmouth, Harvey had already seen a remarkable ascent even before releasing music officially -  being tipped and playlisted by BT Sport and playing the Isle of Wight Festival for This Feeling last year. 

'For The Love Of It' is available to stream now.

More Information on Harvey Jay Dodgson

Harvey Jay Dodgson started playing the guitar at the age of 7 and by 9 years of age had written his first piece of music. His early inspiration came after being introduced by older brother Neil to the music of Peggy Lee, Billie Holiday and the free-flowing vocal melodies of Ella Fitzgerald and Ray Charles. He says, "It instantly opened my eyes (or should I say ‘ears’) to a completely different sound of music." It was discovering the jazz-influenced artists, King Krule and Cosmo Pyke who inspired him to experiment further and he was soon ready to create his own music. 

 Tipped by BT TV and Scotts Menswear as ‘One to Watch 2021’ He has recently performed at the IOW Festival. He will be releasing his debut fully produced EP in 2022.

Lyrics:
Suddenly, suddenly we find ourselves in spotlight
Illuminate, illuminated in the dark forest
Rabbit in the headlights
Of monstrous machines
Like submarines
But made of teeth

Really, I find it kind of funny
The systems that we live in
Are alien to me anyway

Suddenly, suddenly we find ourselves in spotlight
Rabbit in the headlights
Of monstrous machines
Like submarines
With smiling teeth

Really, I find it kind of funny
The systems that we live in
Are alien to me

Beneath the energetic rhythms and quirky instrumentation lies a heartbreaking story of war and separation. "Two White Flag" juxtaposes an upbeat, syncopated musical arrangement with the tragedy of a world on fire. It asks the question "What are we fighting for?" while the clean, layered vocals deliver a plea for peace from the perspective of those caught in the crossfire.
