David Naethan draws from R&B’s past while pointing towards its future on the phenomenal pop phenomena of “Holding Me Up”. Vocals recall Seal’s silky-smooth delivery for his deep, resonant voice works wonders. The arrangement itself appears to be a neat intersection between new-school ambient-tinged bliss alongside old-school polished grooves. Nods to Prince’s effortless cool intermingle within the glistening arrangement from the impeccable guitar riffs that ring up into the sky, alongside the stately aura of the rhythm. Right with a degree of beautiful passion, he lets the song get a little loose. By allowing a mixture of the restrained alongside the celebratory, he makes sure that the piece feels absolutely timeless.
