Heaven For Real's new track, "Hold Me Back," is a welcome arrival in the indie folk-rock realm, pleasing with introspective tunes wrapped in manifestly contagious energy. Draped by Olivia Scriven's emotive vocals, the song carries you through a perfect encapsulation of the group dynamic, which has been central to their writing process.
A subtle, infectious backbone of rhythms, provided by drummer Jen Yakamovich, intertwines seamlessly with the song's airy guitar lines and layered harmonies. Scriven and Yakamovich's interplay is so natural, and it always serves the music itself. And while the band continues to tease its next album, "Hold Me Back" offers a promising taste of what's to come. The track blends introspective verses with a chorus that loses itself in the mood, capturing the spirit of folk rock mixed with a modern indie twist.
Its layered textures, meticulous design, and collaborative energy render it so immediate yet enduring, a track that seems to get richer with every listen. Heaven For Real excels in crafting personal-sounding, relatable tunes and has thrown its hat into that ring with "Hold Me Back." It's a song that grounds and elevates at once, an experience that feels as reflective as it is invigorating, the perfect lead-up to the band's new record.
