The track is the exciting rising alt-pop artist’s first new single of 2024
Ushered in with colourful synths and the artist’s fun production and creativity, latest Eraste single ‘Hold Me’ is a self-produced gay-pop anthem that delves into themes like unrequited love and the frustration of unsuccessfully vying for someone’s affection, with Eraste’s unique charismatic appeal and charm making for a memorable and expansive track that is packed full of life and appeal.
The track does a great job of capturing the wide range of feelings and emotions that comes with such a situation, ranging from the initial panic to the liberating and freeing feeling of eventually letting go, making for a resonating and authentic-feeling release that many listeners will find solace in and relate to. The vulnerability displayed through the lyrics and narrative provides a nice contrast to the larger than life and often explosive nature of the colourful soundscape and catchy melodies, and makes for a really empowering and engrossing release that explores its themes with a refreshingly candid honesty.
