Harewood was half of the punk duo Farai, formed with Zimbabwean-born vocalist Farai Bukowski-Bouquet.

Released on March 4, 2022 by Rhythm Section International, So I Can See You was recorded at night during his daughter’s birth using a Tascam 38 tape machine in a Hither Green studio shared with Mica Levi and Coby Sey. The album features collaborators including Coby Sey, Fran Lobo, Roxanne Tataei, and Marc Pell. [1] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]
