The thoughtful and stirring new single explores the need to let go in order to achieve peace and keep moving forward
British singer-songwriter James Ollier is somebody who has put together a really thoughtful and nuanced set of indie-folk releases together, informed by his experiences travelling and being away from home, with the artist’s wanderlust serving as a great deal of his inspiration.
His latest single ‘Holding onto Something’ is something that taps into this in profound fashion, written about the experience of having to leave somewhere and the memories that you’ve had in order to move forwards and progress. A narrative surrounding the theme of letting go makes for a really cathartic and liberating listening experience, and there is a calm sense of defiance and power in the artists vocals as he looks to march onwards and continue to progress and embark on new adventures.
