<\/div>\n

Ben Harper<\/a> explores the space between love, dependence and self-reliance on his moving new song, \u201cUneven Days.\u201d The spare ballad finds Harper singing over heavy piano chords as strings swell up alongside, leading the track to an apex where distant percussion echoes across the negative space. \u201cLove is pain in reverse,\u201d Harper sings, \u201cUneven days pin me to the floor\/Uneven days I try to find the door\/Uneven days.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe song \u2018Uneven Days\u2019 attempts to explore the depths of how dependent we can become on other people for our own sense of wholeness and stability,\u201d Harper said in a statement. \u201cThe only thing more hazardous than oversimplifying relationships is over complicating them. Love and surrender are synonyms. Even if I remove love from the equation, mental health and day-to-day perspective, maintenance is a razors edge. Maybe acknowledging the unavoidable uneven day, or uneven days, helps avoid uneven months or even years.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUneven Days\u201d also arrives with a Scot Keenan-directed music video in which a trio of dancers deftly translate the tensions in the song into movement. Kristin Sudekis choreographed the video, which stars Jacob \u201cSeven Feet\u201d Melvin, Rachel Warren and Nicole Morris.<\/p>\n

\u201cUneven Days\u201d marks Harper\u2019s first song as a solo artist since his 2016 album with the Innocent Criminals, Call It What It Is<\/em>. Last year, he partnered with harmonica player Charlie Musselwhite for a new album, No Mercy In This Land<\/em><\/a>, while this year he produced Mavis Staples\u2019 latest LP, We Get By<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Harper and the Innocent Criminals are in the midst of a European tour and they\u2019ll kick off a North American run<\/a> with Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue August 11th in Park City, Utah.<\/p>\n
