Hereโs a nostalgic, upbeat song that seamlessly courses throughout, emanating a combined sense of relaxation and dance at the same time with dreamy, fuzzy synths and an elegant falsetto voice. โHolding My Breathโ by Jordan Massey is a synth-pop track with drums and guitar blended in its catchy fold filled with hooks.
Masseyโs voice takes center stage as it swings from line to line, having a soft grip on the lyrics with a vulnerable yet uplifting delivery that perfectly captures the lyricsโ themes of accepting the reality of a past toxic relationship and learning to let go.
The chorus of โHolding My Breathโ is incredibly impactful as the content is repetitive, with Jordan chanting, โIt wasnโt my kind of loveโ over and over again. Repetition can be extremely powerful when you need someone to understand, resonate with, and relate to you. And Jordan certainly did his homework here with soaring harmonies and a powerful hook that will stay with you long after the song has ended.
What sets โHolding My Breathโ apart is the attention to detail in the production. The instrumentation is layered in a way that complements Masseyโs vocals, with drums thrumming in the background, giving the synths something to pop on while they, themselves, append to the songโs emotional depth with their atmospheric vibe. The trackโs arrangement also keeps things interesting, with Masseyโs vocals overlaid on top of the other as the tempo glides and breezes with the instrumentals.
If you love Chris Brown and the Weeknd, you need to give โHolding My Breathโ a shot.
