‘Hold On’ kicks off with the introduction of effortlessly soulful vocals sampled from gospel singer Cleophus Robinson Jr. Field cleverly combines the samples with a refined and catchy plucked guitar riff and bouncy claps and hi hats, focusing on the groove. Field adds percussive elements to the track in signature style as the vocal sample is chopped and rearranged, bringing a fresh new dynamic to the classic emotional top line. With melancholic, backing choir vocals lying atop sultry bass stabs, Simon Field has managed to create a truly original, eerie yet upbeat track.
