“Break These Chains” by Harry Kappen

With “Break These Chains,” Dutch artist Harry Kappen delivers a searing sonic call to consciousness—a bold blend of alternative rock, lyrical protest, and atmospheric instrumentation that commands the listener’s attention from the first note. Released via MTS Records, the track is the second single from Kappen’s forthcoming album Four, a project that cements his evolution from indie favorite to global voice of reason and resistance.

Lyrically, “Break These Chains” tackles misinformation and ideological manipulation head-on. Lines like “We do have freedom of speech / But we don't need a misleading preach” cut deep, reflecting Kappen’s background not only as a musician and producer but also as a music therapist—someone deeply attuned to the emotional and psychological impact of sound and message. The song pleads for clarity in a post-truth world, offering a message both timely and timeless: “Let’s break these chains, the truth will survive.”

In music wise, the track pays homage to Kappen’s eclectic influences—echoes of Bowie’s theatricality, McCartney’s melodic prowess, and Radiohead’s eerie introspection permeate the arrangement. A haunting guitar solo punctuates the track, providing an emotional climax that lingers well after the final “na na naaa” fades.

Kappen has stated that this song is about breaking “the ugly chains of fake news, lies and misinformation,” a sentiment that resonates strongly in today’s digital age. “Break These Chains” doesn’t just aim to entertain—it seeks to awaken. And in doing so, it secures Harry Kappen a rightful place among modern music’s most purposeful storytellers.
