Having already turned out a wealth of dazzling delights these last few months, LA-based artist Holly Blair is back once again to offer up her immersive new single 'Loud'.
Lifted from her forthcoming new EP 'Then Comes The Lightning', which is out on the 28th August, 'Loud' is another shining example of her progressive pursuits of late. Brimming with this warm and emotive production throughout, she continues to shine as a true innovator on the rise right now.
Speaking about the track, she said, “The song is really like a love letter from me to anyone else who struggles with feeling overwhelmed and overstimulated, for anyone who grieves for the world we live in and how much chaos and pain there is, neurodivergent or not. For me, the song asks the question, can it just be okay to be the way we are? I came into this world extremely sensitive and spent so long trying to hide that or fight my instincts and push through just to seem “normal.” The song marks a time in my life where I wanted to find environments and people that helped me feel safe in this world and love me regardless of my quirks. It really was a way for me to tell little Holly that it was okay to be the way I am, and let her have a voice.
"I made the song with Mark McKenna, an Irish actor and musician/producer from the band Milk, and the energy in the room was really conducive to creating this kind of wandering little interlude of a song. Mark is a master at finding sounds and tones that are really soothing and beautiful to me, but are also interesting and texturally challenging, and so it was a good match with the subject matter of the song.”
