Opening with a soulful guitar riff over a bedrock of slick production before the smooth delivery of an emotive and captivating vocal, Hold On speaks to personal struggles with self-identify and uncertainty. With dream-like soundscapes & intricate electronic percussion, this empowering pop anthem builds towards an uplifting & cathartic release that will connect with listeners on a personal level. With its’ infectious melodies & hopeful message, the track serves as a beacon of light for those who might be struggling – particularly at this time of year where many people find mental health struggles magnified – & will resonate with those who feel isolated & may not realise that they’re not alone.
Speaking of the story behind the song, Nadia said “While the main message in the song speaks to resilience and hope, the story of it channels my own struggles, feelings of uncertainty and battles with my personal identity. These are backed with positive intent in the knowledge & belief that things will get better.”
