Steven Abrams's new single, "Never Letting Go," reveals some well-defined intentions. It's a moment of emotional clarity with comforting production and authentic storytelling. A powerful and deeply personal common thread in every inch of this record is the aftermath of loss, a sensation many recoil from but that Abrams steels himself to welcome. Rather than succumbing to grief, he turned his attention outward, embarking on a journey of travel and human connection. The emotional roadmap of that single is hardwired into the very DNA of this effort. "Never Letting Go" is a soft but sturdy anthem to choosing hope over despair and the quiet strength it takes to keep going.
The track embraces a warm, atmospheric arrangement that gives Abrams's vocals space to breathe and emote. His delivery is close and conversational but also confident in a restrained way, like someone who's been through the fire and emerged better knowing himself. The production has a comforting balance between melancholy and optimism, reflecting the duality of grief and growth. "Never Letting Go" seems wonderfully human in its honesty. It doesn't sugarcoat the pain of loss nor glorify it. It reflects a universal truth that sometimes healing doesn't start with closure but with living both physically and emotionally. The strangers we encounter, the situations we find ourselves in, the little blips of connection are our life rafts, stitching us back together again.
Steven Abrams has given you a companion to your introspection. "Never Letting Go" is a song that doesn't require attention but commands it quietly, line by line, beat by beat. At a moment when so many songs are made for the moment, this one feels made for the soul. "Never Letting Go" is a tender reminder for anyone coming to terms with loss, transformation, and the pursuit of meaning amid change that to move forward does not mean we have to let go of the past. That's choosing to carry the past well, not with regret.
