““There She Goes” is my poetic description capturing the beauty and duality of the ideal woman,” Harding said of the song. “This perspective is often overlooked or subject to judgment, as her strength and resilience are sometimes misunderstood. Despite the challenges we may face, she is still able to grow and shine with a sense of grace and poise.” Harding’s latest album ‘If Words Were Flowers’ (2021) was called “a stirring, seductive album" by Mojo.
Drawing on vintage soul, R&B, hip-hop, garage rock, and psychedelia, the songs are raw and gritty, fueled by airtight grooves, punchy horns, and adventurous production from Harding and frequent collaborator Sam Cohen. It followed the release of ‘Face Your Fear’ (2017), also helmed by Cohen and super producer Danger Mouse, which earned Harding dates with everyone from Jack White to Lenny Kravitz, landed him festival slots at Jazz à la Villette, End Of The Road, North Sea Jazz Festival, Newport Folk, Lollapalooza, and Austin City Limits, and racked up over 100 million streams on Spotify to-date.
