Solumโs new single โHold Onโ is a dreamy, emotionally charged plunge into love and vulnerability, wrapped in a genre-bending soundscape thatโs as catchy as it is heartfelt. Hailing from London and wearing multiple hats as vocalist, songwriter, and co-producer, Solum teams up with longtime collaborator Amorii to deliver a track that pulses with sincerity and sonic finesse.
From the very first beat, โHold Onโ makes its presence known with flowing, rippling electronic rhythms immediately grab your attention, while Solumโs high, husky vocals deliver achingly open and painfully self-aware lyrics.
Thereโs a strong influence of Jojiโs melancholic tenderness, ericdoaโs melodic emo-electronica, and the rhythmic experimentation of glaive. The lo-fi textures move into jersey club vibes, while bursting a beat that keeps your head nodding while your heart soaks in every line. The chorus, with its repeating plea, โHold on to meโ moves in a crowded world, longing to be heard, to be kept, to be loved.
Lyrically, the song reads like a raw, flawed, and humane late-night confeession. The lines, โI donโt understand what she sees in meโ shows that he is insecure as he hasnโt been loved or treated right since forever and now he sees a new hope to thrive for forever and a desire to grow old together.
โHold Onโ hooks you in with its beat and holds you with its heart. Listen to it on Spotify.
