With a deep background in music performance and production, classically-trained Carter Jnr. has a vocal range and writing style that is both pop-friendly and emotionally complex. Holding On is about the idea that we are all struggling to keep it together, and how that plays out in terms of perspective: things always look a little different from the other side.
Moving towards the indie-folk sound of an act like Mumford & Sons, the sound here is a compelling mix of introspective melody and spontaneous inspiration, as we are at once celebrating the current moment, and our own freedom from the confines of the past.
