HARPER, the incredible 12-year-old vocalist who took the internet by storm with her mind-blowing cover of Spiritbox’s Holy Roller and captured the hearts of millions as a contestant on last year’s America’s Got Talent, has today shared another official single with fans.
The track, Chelsea Smile, is a blistering cover of the smash hit single by Bring Me The Horizon, originally released in 2008 on their album Suicide Season & as a single/video in January 2009.

Earlier this year, HARPER shared electrifying new single Weight Of The World, a bonafide metalcore banger. That song was written by Leo Valeri, guitarist/producer of deathcore heavyweights Brand of Sacrifice and features a guest vocal from Dave Stephens (We Came As Romans).
