Hold On has been mined from deep within the well of human emotions. Minev has crafted a dark and poignant composition which manages to plant a seed of optimism after taking listeners on a journey through hurt, succour and healing.
The sparse instrumentation and brooding piano form the perfect accompaniment to a vocal that is both gentle and powerful at the same time. The lyrics ring through clearly, and hit hard.
It is a song that would be a fitting companion to a reflective reverie in the solitude of one’s bedroom yet, it would also hold its own played as a pop ballad on daytime radio.
With its gentler musical aesthetic and guest female vocals, Hold On showcases a new side to Minev’s musicianship whilst staying true to his distinctive emotive electronic sound with lush synth arpeggios, big reverbs and drum breaks.
“I wanted to create a song that was raw and honest, and one which I hope will be a source of comfort for people going through a hard time. The song’s theme of ‘holding on through the night’ was inspired by memories I have of being ill as a child at night-time and waiting for daybreak, when everything suddenly feels better. That felt like a good analogy for emerging stronger and wiser after living and working though difficult emotions.”
