As the summer festival season winds down after a string of unforgettable performances, THE HALO EFFECT surprise fans with a brand-new release — a cover of the beloved 1997 hit “If You Were Here” by Swedish Alternative Pop-Rock icons KENT (originally released in Swedish as “Om du var här”).
Bassist Peter Iwers said of that inspired choice: “KENT was a band that left a mark on many, weaving together pop rock and synth in a way that deeply moved me. This song remains one of my personal favorites. Out of respect for their artistry, we aimed to create our own version without straying too far from the soul of the original.”
The summer maybe almost over but THE HALO EFFECT keep hitting the stages since there are some live shows left on their program.
