Australian Vera Blue is responsible for her piercingly beautiful debut single, "Hold", which also happens to have an equally stunning and detailed visual to go with it. The track grabs hold (no pun intended) of you firmly by the first words within it, and that grip does not loosen as we begin to notice her sweet vocal is really quite strong and convincing throughout. Her voice soars with conviction over a crisp, interesting sonic framework that combines electronic and acoustic elements and that makes the track both an intimate and modern-sounding. Read below the artist's heartfelt words about the track, and, if you become a fan of hers after listening to her track, you're in luck, because she's an upcoming five-track EP on the way. “It’s about when you’ve opened your heart so many times to people and you finally find that person who is there to protect you, to look after you, even when you’ve hurt them and they’ve hurt you. You never give up on them.” You can purchase "Hold" on iTunes now.
