: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: sir WasÆ new album "Holding on To a Dreamö is a mesmerising :,
: twisting of genres - from classic soul and old-school hip-hop, :
:' to beautifully fresh pop structures. The new record is dense ':
,: with ideas and adventurous, a sonic-leap forth. ôI was :,
: interested in having a lusher sound, more rich,ö WΣstberg says. :
:' ôWith the first record I had this idea that I wanted it to ':
,: sound like an old vinyl record. I wanted this lo-fi, old-school :,
: sound. When I realized that I was actually making another album, :
:' I felt a bit scared of the whole thing, but it didnÆt take me ':
,: that long to realise that the only thing I could do was to make :,
: something that felt really right in my body and soul. IÆve :
:' realised that thereÆs nothing to be afraid of. IÆm ready to ':
,: explore so much more.ö :,
: :
:' The sense of exploration resonates throughout the album and can ':
,: be defined by its start and end points. Opening track æFly AwayÆ :,
: begins the expedition, a gleaming reflection of past :
:' insecurities as a jump-off point for the next chapter, all ':
,: subtle beats and stark bursts of guitars that leap out of the :,
: mix. The recordÆs boldest moment is reserved for æDeployedÆ, a :
:' collaboration with Little DragonÆs Yukimi Nagano. Beautifully ':
,: bright and sincere, ÆDeployedÆ is a perhaps the most vivid pop :,
: song that sir Was has released to-date. Elsewhere, æNo Giving :
:' UpÆ is a tender recollection of a past relationship, set to an ':
,: equally affectionate composition, a glowing example of :,
: WΣstbergÆs growing songwriting skills, while æThe Sun Will :
:' ShineÆ showcases another side of JoelÆs skillset, a playful ':
,: production full of inspired ideas and nuances; a Les Fleurseque :,
: mellow breeze in the heat of the summer. :
:' ':
,: A heartfelt accounting of relationships, of knowing when to let :,
: go and when to fight for them, æHolding On To A DreamÆ, is a :
:' dreamy, groovy, lustrous treat of a record. ':
