Think of a painting that is just one color all over the canvas. That’s like a solo singer or instrument. They can sound only one pitch at a time.

Now think of a painting that is two colors. That’s like two voices or instruments together.

The more colors you add to the painting, the more variety and depth you can create. Same with bringing many voices &/or instruments together. Nothing wrong with a solo voice, but with many voices you can create more variety, color and depth. That’s why harmony sounds good.
